Bora Bora
What a beautiful setting for diving. A tropical paradise!
Staying in an overwater bungalow at the Bora Bora Hotel, which
was the most exclusive hotel on the island, the view was of the
Bora Bora lagoon.
The dive shop delivers all your equipment and air tank by a boat,
to a landing at the bottom of the steps to your bungalow. One just
has to step off of the landing into the lagoon to enjoy and explore
the sights!
To dive beyond the lagoon reef in the ocean, it was necessary to
report to a pier area to board a boat. At that same pier was a bevy
of French girls sunning themselves, topless! Needless to say, it
took me an extra long time to arrange my gear and stow it on the
boat. They were oblivious of any attentions.
The diving at the ocean side of the reef turned out to be too rough
to attempt, so the dive was consummated inside the lagoon.
The lagoon at Bora Bora around the hotel was rather sterile and
uninteresting. The scenery, however, made up for it.
