What to do in Papeete in one day

Papeete is as much about nature as beach & sea: 21 of its 139 plans are snorkelling and diving, and 18 are boat trips. The problem is not a lack of things to see, it is choosing with the time you have: this guide sorts them by the hours you have left, the weather and who you travel with.
