TSandM --- We dove exclusively off of the listed diving excursions, except for a 2-tank dive on one day that was offered on Bora Bora thru Top Dive to the more "experienced" divers (probably anybody with more than 20 dives. ☺
Several of the days we had dive operators contracted by the boat, but most days were directly off of the marina platform at the back of the boat in Zodiacs guided by the PG divemasters, Dominique, Fredrik and Pierre. Dominique is a native of the island of Tahiti, is married to the PG's hotel director, and has been on the PG since it first sailed 10 years ago. You can, of course, line up outside operators on any of the islands to maximize the number of dives. We dragged our own gear and left it at the marina. We rolled out of bed, had a small breakfast delivered by room service, and strolled down to the marina for the dive. Most of the dive sites were only 5 minutes or so away from the boat, so on the one tank dive days we were back by 10:00 getting ready for other activities. The Tiputa Pass dive on Rangiroa is not to be missed if the atoll is on your itinerary. It is a rocket dive with lots going on, although there were no Hammerheads when we dove it.
