You are missing a fast lens.  Could be some nice opportunities for
available light photography.  Look at a Canon 50mm f/1.8 as they are
fast, sharp and inexpensive. Make a point of comparing its results to
either of your zooms ;)  For fish underwater a polarizing filter is a
must.  Serves double duty as it helps with landscapes.  Improves
contrast, cuts some haze, and darkens the sky which helps to get the
clouds to "pop out"  Stops and speeds are no different in Bora Bora.  If
you are clueless just use one of the program modes.  A remote shutter
release is a nice addition for your tripod.  Keep your film speeds on
the low side.  Don't go over iso 400 for prints and about iso 200 for
slides.  Keeping the film speed down is what the fast lens is for.  Have
a nice time on your trip.  And don't forget to pay attention to the misses.
