  I have been in Tahiti and Fiji the September of last year and two years ago.
When I have been there, I felt like summer and sea water was warm.
Though New Caledonia is near to the Tahiti and Fiji, the sea water was cold and just like spring.
The sea temperature was around 23℃, so I barrowed a wet suit and layering wet suits.
I was not able to be the Amedee Island, because there were less than minimum number of participants required.
I was asked to wait at the beach in front of the hotel.
When I waited at the beach, I saw the big red boat off the coast.
Then the samll boat left from the big red boat, and I was picked up.
 
 
Noumea and Anse Vata I was not able to be the Amedee Island and to take three dives a day,
because there were less than minimum number of participants required.
I had enought time in afternoon, so I walked around Noumea and Anse Vata on first and second day.
