vicki - after looking it up, the BEST dive we did in BB (and we did it 3 times and it was consistantly good) was "Tapu" and the one dive we did that had poor visibility was "Toopua"..
Supposedly "Toopua" is a nice dive wiith spotted eagle rays etc, but the day we did it, the visibility was about 20 - 30 feet and we only saw one ray - and not much else..
"Tapu" on the other hand was an awesoem dive all 3 dives. They tie the boat up and you go in and just swim around - the Black Tips and Lemons come right to you plus we saw several eels (one b/w spotted eel and a couple of green moray eels) along with huge schools of other fish that followed us on the whole dive. I had a remora (sp) swimming under my left knee the entire first dive we did - he thought I was a shark I guess! The dive master pointed it out to us and my wife shot a few pics of it.. Anyways, that dive was great..
We also did "Tupitipiti" and it was also a great dive as the DM brought a huge tuna head with him and fed the sharks at about 40 ft - they ripped it to shreds which was awesome.. That was a good dive site as well.. I heard Muri Muri was good, but we weren't able to do it - friends of ours did and said they could see it being a good dive, but it was very murky that day..
My best advice wouldb e to do "Tapu" at least once.. We did the afternoon dives and pretty much got to pick where we went, so we just kept going back there because we liked it so much..
Good luck and holler if you need to..
Steve
