All these islands, 118 in all, are different from each other. From when you first land in Papeete or flying into Bora Bora. The Society Islands (made up of the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands) is a group of high tropical islands, the main one of which is Tahiti, the largest of the Polynesian islands, with Papeete as its administrative capital. This group also includes the famous islands of Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, Tahaa, Bora Bora and Maupiti.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular" size="2">The Tuamotu group is a collection of low islands or atolls. Here is a very special world, situated between sky and sea. Each island is encircled on its lagoon by a ring of coral. It is an environment favorable to pearl farming. Rangiroa, Tikehau, Manihi are the ones most frequently visited.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular" size="2"><img height="135" width="180" src="photos/tahiti_kayak.jpg" border="1" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" alt="Diving in Tahiti, Bora Bora, French Polynesia">Some people say if the sea has a country it must be French Polynesia. A sea of lagoons extending over four kilometers all ready and waiting for the Tahitians and their guest. You can do everything. The sea will hold no secret for visitors keen on discovery, whether it be boating or underwater diving, or making contact with the fairy land of parrot fish, banks of barracuda or sleeping sharks or to admire phosphorescent corals and the colored anemone. And for those more heavily into physical activities, the superb breakers of the surfing spots will not fail to provide you with the best surfing thrills. From waterfalls, helicopters and deep sea fishing. Tahiti and her islands have it all.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular" size="2"><b>Top Dive Resort, Iti Diving, The Six Passengers, Boroa Bora Blue Nui, Sheraton Resorts, Intercontinental Hotels</b> and <b>Pearl Beach Resorts</b> are just a few of the many French Polynesian resorts and dive operators to enjoy.
