Comments	Moorea Fun Dive is a great group of divers, and a great choice if you want something more personal than the large, established outfit. We try to seek out the smaller operations and were very happy with this one. The owners couldn't be nicer. They picked us up at the Hilton and took us to their shop, where we leisurely suited up and got in the boat. The first day there were seven divers total, and the small-ish boat was a little crowded, but the next day we were alone and had the divemaster all to ourselves, which was lovely. The coral is pretty blasted for a variety of different reasons, but the fish life is good, with exceptional water clarity. The main reason to dive here is the lemon sharks, and we saw a few on each dive, plus tons of blacktips. Sometimes a dozen. And we saw turtles on each dive, and lots of different kinds of eels. We were treated to a pod a spinner dolphins during a surface interval, and the divemaster very gently followed them at about 5 mph so they could ride the bow wave, which they seemed to enjoy as much as we did. We ended up doing 4 dives instead of the planned 6; I think you can see what there is to see in 4. The water in mid-June is pretty cold. I could have used a 5mm easily, but I tend to get cold. Because it's a small operation, you will be assembling and carrying your own gear, although, on the day it was just my husband and me, the divemaster was happy to do it for us, which we appreciated. We would highly recommend Moorea Fun Dive and will dive them again if we are ever lucky enough to return to the beautiful island of Moorea.
