Summary:
This was a very interesting trip, and quite different from the snorkeling experiences we usually have. Our guides Frederick and Remy were great. The fish gather thick around us. They're drawn by food (bananas), but it's still fascinating. One pretty wrasse even swam into our scooter briefly! I particularly liked the part about going down to about 10 feet deep. I can't dive well while snorkeling because my ears need more time to adjust than most people. This was a gradual descent and my ears handled it fine, so I got to see depths I normally I can't go to. We didn't see as much as we would while snorkeling freely, but I still appreciated the uniqueness of the experience. This would be an especially good activity for anyone who wants to have the submarine experience but doesn't want to gear up or isn't comfortable breathing through a snorkel.

Summary:
Such a fun and unique experience in Bora Bora! The crew was super friendly. The scooter was easy to use and the views were amazing — only downside was the $95 photo/video package, which we skipped.

Summary:
What an experience. I can't recommend this ride highly enough. the staff were very friendly and helpful and you felt safe the whole time. it was an amazing way to be part of the sea world without being a trained diver. The fish swam right in front of us and were floating around you the whole time.
