MOOREA – Day Four, Feb. 22, 2005

Moorea

We discovered that room service had the best hot chocolate in the morning – which we often ordered on days we needed to tender early. We would order pastries or bagels and muffins. You could also write in bacon or eggs, and they will bring that. Most cruise ships only serve continental breakfast.

Since we had already been to Moorea, we decided to do a two tank dive. It was arranged by the ship with Bathy’s Club Moorea (now called Topdive, http://www.topdive.com/moorea-diving.html). We were not overly impressed with the dive outfit. In between dives, we had to swap out our own gear.  Most dive outfits will to this for  you.  They offered no snacks or water offered to us. At the end of the dives, we had to clean out and return their gear. This is probably a petty complaint, but there was no customer service at all. The dive itself was great! Black tip sharks greeted the boat as we anchored at the Opunohu Canyon site. Both dives were 45-50 minutes each.  The deepest dive was 75 feet.  We saw rose coral, a huge lemon shark, and 3 turtles. 

We saw several turtles!

Rainbow leaving Moorea

There was a beautiful rainbow as we left Moorea! There are a few small tents set up right off the tender. You can find simple jewelry trinkets to buy. They took US dollars.  We topped the night off with some dancing in the disco!
