Boring Bora diving definitively not Top of the list

if you have little experience then this might be a good dive for you. If you have done even a moderate amount of diving and have some idea of what a good dive experience is then don't waste your time.
Nice boat. Good Capt.. The Dive Master, was an adorable young French girl . She made sure the guests didn't get lost at sea or risk even a remote chance of decompression sickness. So safety was not a factor. They were very nice.
The dives we did were very short and very shallow. We came up with half a tank of air each time. The focus was on getting you in and out of the water as quickly as possible and not straying more than 300 feet away from the boat.
The swell here has been pretty big lately and there had been a lot of bad weather so we waited for the calmest day to go out and still were taken to the closest possible dive sites. On such a calm day one would think they might take the initiative to go a little farther down the reef for a better experience.
I would suggest you try a different company but there were 2 other boats on the same sites doing the same dives at the same time. Seemed like a pattern. This is low season - imagine when it's crowded!
In my estimation a waste of money and time other than being able to cross Bora Bora diving off my list. Our dive experience is 46 countries and many thousands of dives so perhaps the comparison is harsh. And again. If you're a novice and you just want to see a couple small sharks, a lot of brown coral and a clown fish it might be a great day for you.
