Buy AIS in French Polynesia?

Hey there,

My son is about 1/2 way from Panama to Marquesas Is single handed in a Cape Dory 26. He's had fantastic weather - https://www.facebook.com/tajdavistrip/

I regret not buying him an AIS before he left, but he is a stubborn bugger, not wanting handouts (or crew).

Does anyone know where someone could buy a class B AIS transponder in French Polynesia? Tahiti? Papeete?

Thanks for replies, this is now resolved.

It was too hard to find one in French Polynesia and I suspect they would have been pretty expensive.

As it happens a local chandlery had one on sale at a discount off RRP and then a further 15% sale today because a local boat show is on. So even adding postage, I have done quite well.
