Four Seasons Bora Bora, French Polynesia
What can I say, it's The Four Seasons in paradise on earth! Though they obviously made an ecologic impact on the island by their presence they have established a coral research lagoon with a guest education program for all divers and non-divers to attend. The resort uses local dive operators to provide boat dives and gear to guests. I chose Top Dive because they seemed closer but in actuallity everything is close. They picked us up right at the resort dock and the dive sites were all close by. The crew of 2-3 three were very friendly as is the nature of these islanders. We seen so many sharks on the dedicated shark dive that we started looking for other creatures to look at such as the blue mantled clams. A known manta ray feeding station in the lagoon produced 5 large rays. The over the water bungalows were spacious and had every amenity desired even room service by canoe. Two restaurants on site. One providing a la carte selections including sushi and the other offered endless buffets with beautiful presentations.
