Laura Dawn - French Polynesia Log 6: Swimming with the sharks



That's a lot of sharks.. alright not all big ones, mostly a few feet, but a lot! South Fakarava pass today was incredible. We managed 4 drift dives and about 3 hours in the water before we gave in to hunger and fatigue and headed back to the boat for corned beef sandwiches (feeling very British today).

We must have seen over a hundred, probably more, mostly in groups and a few mooching about on their own. We did a shallow drift on the edge of the reef as well as the deep pass drifts, towing the dinghy with us like some sort of strange inflatable pet on its leash, and it was like an aquarium, amazing and full of fish everywhere, as well as bright and abundant corals.

I can see why its known for its snorkeling, so grateful to be here and enjoying this amazing place, although thinking a nap might be needed now.
