Comments	The dive company and boats were in great shape, they had aqualung calipso regs and scubapro bcs. all tanks were yoke (nitrox tanks were al 100) all other were al 80. there are NO depth gauges and my vytek said we were very close to deco dives in just two dives a day. DEFINETLY bring your own computer. by the 6th dive i had pretty much seen everything and due to large swells we began to repeat dive sites. the water was 84 top to bottom, i wore a 3mm full suit which helped me not get cut by the coral. top dive was very nice and accomidated my rushed schedule. they were obviously the best dive shop in tiny bora bora, enjoy your trip!!
