Sharks, mantas and dolphins FPM delivered
Great trip allround. The diving around Rangiroa, Apataki, Toue and Fakarava wzs quite phenemonel. Alex the CD did a great job and his dive briefings were the best out of all liveaboards ive done. For me julie and Laurent were the stand out dive guides. The food was exceptional and ill be running for a few months to get the weight off. The cabins are very spacious but the bathrooms could be slightly bigger. All in all great value for money, great staff and ive seen more sharks in 27 dives then ive seen in 400 dives elsewere in the world. Bravo team

Good but not great diving
The boat was verynice on the top deck rooms. The crew was very helpful and the food good and plentiful. The diving was unremarkable for the price paid and only 3 dives a day. We were told not to touch the dolphins, which is proper, yet one dive guide did.

Exceptional Diving with a Personable Crew
A wonderful experience aboard the French Polynesian Master Liveaboard complete with diving with dolphins, walls of reef sharks, and drifting through endless coral gardens. The crew made this experience and went above and beyond to accomodate experienced divers, novices, and snorkelers alike. Thank you for your kindness and sincerity throughout our trip!
