Why is diving in the French Polynesuan islands so exspensive? $600 for 10
dives

That is very INEXPENSIVE, for diving in the French Polynesia.
It's driven by the Free Market -- a price customers gladly (or
grudgingly)
pay to dive there.
I think many of us are so accustomed to the cheap cost of diving in
Cozumel and Central America third world countries that we think prices
are, or should be, that way in the rest of the world.

Go dive in Hawai'i some time.
Reef Fish...

Been there, done that. Many times. Definitely less expensive diving
in Hawaii than some of the French Polynesian islands!

Ouch!
Of course, doing a dive at Walt Disney World is probably some of the
most expensive diving in the world. 20 ft for 30 minutes, $140.

-hh...

The rates that I've been seeing are around $100/dive. Sounds like you
may have found a pretty good rate.
