Comments	Moorea Fun Dive is owned and operated by Edmee & Roland. We learned of Moorea Fun Dive through our travel agent Trip N Tour. They were very attentive to our needs and diving preferences. Roland picked us up at the hotel in morning and we did 2 tank dive. They have small fast boats which hold up to 6 divers. They were very safety conscience with good dive briefings and planned safety stops. All entries were back roll and easy exit via ladder after removal of BCD and weights. We did a combination of free dives down the anchor line and drift dives. The corals were excellent with large amenities and lots of sharks. They did not bait for sharks but we saw many types ranging from Lemon, Black Tip and Silver Tip. I had a digital camera system which they assisted with in and out of the water – the only negative was no camera table because the boat was small. You could leave your gear at the dive center overnight as they had lockers, showers, etc to rinse and store gear. Moorea Fun Dive was very knowledgeable and gave excellent personal service. The Sheraton Hotel was excellent. Moorea is a large island with many shops and sights to see. We had a beachfront bungalow which had a large porch and easy access to the beach. We could walk out to the beach or to the pool which was very large and shallow. There was a wide assortment of food to eat at the main restaurant or beach café. The restaurant and bar area was particularly nice because they were on the second floor with a cool breeze and beautiful view of sunsets in the evening. There were also restaurants outside of the hotel. The spa on the hotel premise was very nice. There was also a room with a internet connection. We rented a car to tour the island and to purchase groceries such as snacks and bottled water that were very expensive at the hotel. The view from The Belvedere outlook was excellent of the 2 inlets on Moorea island. Overall we had a great experience on Moorea.
