My bf and I are planning a trip to French Polynesia for the latter part of October. We are experienced divers and want to do the wall of sharks in South Fakarava, as well as try for the best conditions in general for diving the passes in Fakarava and Rangiroa. From what I've read, diving during the incoming tide provides the best visibility and conditions. My question is: do we need to aim for certain days in order to dive on the incoming tide? Or do the operators time the dives around that so that you could potentially dive the incoming tide on any day? Our dates aren't set yet, so I'm trying to figure out if there are certain dates I should be targeting.
Separate question I have is about swimming with humpback whales. I wanted to do this in Rurutu, but I don't think we've going to have time to get there. I've read that in Moorea there are no limit on the number of boats or people per whale, so your whale experience will probably be with 20-30 other people. Is that right? If we do this in Tahiti vs. Moorea, would it be less of a zoo?
Lastly, I welcome any and all recommendations on dive operators in Fakarava and Rangiroa, as well as operators for whale swimming in Tahiti or Moorea. Thanks!!
