Hi,
Can anyone make recommendations of who to use for diving (not ameteur) for a certified 3star CMAS?
Would like a couple of good dives?
Thanks
Lunfa

We stayed and dove with the Sofitel Moorea and I highly recommend their dive operation.

I should add - let them know your experience level. There will be beginners and pros on the boat. They will lead different dives for the different divers on board. Also ask about night dives, etc. If they can hook up enough experienced divers to make economic sense, they will organize dives just for the better divers.

Hi Lunfa and welcome to the forum. I know where you are coming from - you get promised NO OPEN WATER COURSES and get lumped with 18m dives and become baby sitters.
Try Bathy's at the Intercontinental on Moorea. Very professional, good boats (Nitrox refill station at the end of the wharf - VERY impressive). David is a legend, as are ALL of the staff. Probably the most proffessional dive set up I have ever dived with (and I've dived on the Mike Ball Spoilsport - so that says something!!)You will not be dissappointed. The only problem with Moorea is that they seem to be having the same Crown of Thorns problem that we had a decade ago.
Plenty of sharks, though, and nice warm water (alot warmer than Sydney, Wollongong and especially Jervis Bay).
You'll love it.

Top Dive ran an outstanding dive operation. They are also located on Tahiti and Bora Bora.
