Go with TOP Dive in Moorea. 2 days ago we swam with 2 large lemons for around 20 minutes out in the Valleys site. Saw Mantas in both Nuku Hiva and Hiva Oa, absolutely nothing like stings, especially from below.
Turtles are hit and miss all over FP. Problem is youwill find them on the reefs, seldom deeper than 15 meters, feeding in the coral. So, tough to dive deep for the larger sharks on the same dive as shallow for the turtles.

On our dive to the Tiki dive site we saw tons of sharks and our dive master fed them there. We also got to interact with a sea turtle and hand feed him (he nipped my finger but didn't hurt). It's a great dive site and I have a picture that you can count about 30 sharks in while the feeding is getting done.

we dove with TOPdive in BB. It's a great operation. They have a shark trip outside the reef. We saw 5 lemons and numerous black tipped reef sharks. Tierry is the greatest. TOPdive will pick you up at your resort. We were sailing/diving/snorkeling for 3 weeks and I only saw a turtle on the last day.

LeMeridien has a turtle sanctuary in their lagoon.They are hatched and protected as they are
endangered.You can snorkel with them and observe
them feeding everyday at 10:00 am.Not as exciting
as a dive but really beautiful to see.
