Starting to think about a trip to French Polynesia. It's still a long way out (a year or two) but I like to plan ahead.
I'm wondering what are the better/best/worse/worst times of the year to go there. I know the standard answer from the tourist industry is that ANY time you can get to French Polynesia is a good time to go, and that's probably true to some extent. Still, I'm sure there are seasons where it's relatively more or less stormy, better/worse viz, more/fewer interesting seasonal critters (not to mention "high season" costs at major tourist destination). Basically, I'm looking to minimize my chances of being there during a typhoon or other storm, and maximizing my chances of being there when dive/wildlife conditions are at their best.
Can anyone suggest the better/worse times to go, specifically for a diver?
Thanks.
