Bora Bora dive/snorkelling pics

The tank is completely automated....but, I have a neighbor buddy who comes over every other day to make sure everything is OK and to throw pre-measured fish fod in.

Thanks, so i assume you do not do any water changes while you are gone? or is that part of the animated part?

also did you go to any other islands than Bora Bora or no?

thanks

steve,

what are the collection policies over there? Anything for the trade or completely regulated?

There's no exporting from tahiti

The reason i got my fish tank was my honeymoon in tahiti. we stayed at hotel bora bora and in my opinion it was the best place we stayed at in all three islands, moorea, bora bora, and rangiroa. we stayed in the few over water bungalows that ran around 1200 - 1500 a night! ouch!!! definately 5 star. but there are definately cheaper places you can stay that have just as beatiful lagoons, coral, fish, etc..

Any thoughts as to why Bora Bora is higher priced than the other islands? IOW might it be worth the extra cost?

Bora Bora's 5 star resorts are much more elegant than some of the other outer islands.....and Bora Bora is more popular....hence the higher price. The Hotel Bora Bora, the Nui, the new Intercontinental, the new Ritz Carlton, and the new Four Seasons are all top notch facilities.....there are no other properties on the other islands that come close in ammenities. So, comparing these facilities to others on, let's say, Rangiroa or even Moorea.... is comparing apples and oranges. The high end resorts don't exist there....yet. It really comes down to what you're looking for....if you want to rough it, there's lots of choices. If, like me, you're looking for pampered elegance, unfortuneatly, there are only a few very high priced options.
