South Fakarava Underwater (Tuamotus)

June 27, 2012

People come from all over the world to dive with the sharks in the south pass (the cut through the atoll where you can enter the huge lagoon).  You ride the incoming tide and drift over coral, fish and lots of sharks.  Our pictures of the sharks are a little lacking as these are screen shots of videos we took.  For some reason, we were a little preoccupied with the sharks and forgot to take some still pictures.  I can’t imagine why?

Those aren’t coi.  Those are about five foot long black tip reef sharks.  There were often thirty to fifty in view at a time.

While Cyndi didn’t panic, she was noticeably happier when the sharks weren’t around (which was seldom here).
