Hello,
We often talk about the superb transparency of the waters in Polynesia I am surprised and a little disappointed beyond 25m where my photos are not better than in the Mediterranean after a good mistral! Did you have the same feeling?
I dived in Moorea, Bora bora (lagoon), Rangiroa between -54m and -30m but often between -20 and -25m.
By cons what diversity of wildlife, what beauty of the islands and sites.

Ha ha ha! I love ! You will find out, don't worry!
NB: for psychopaths, you have fallen ill, here you are on a nest!
Hey yes ... but this is precisely the reason for the presence of such biodiversity ...
Transparent water = few nutrients ...
So ... especially in Rangi where you only dive in the passes, it stirs and like that stirs ... well, the beast that comes to feed 😉
Hi I am in Polynesia and I have just done more than 30 DIVES between Moorea, Bora, Farava South and North, Rangi and Tikehau.
To complete Scubapeople's comment, either you are current going out, coming in or slack and if it is slack or going out the Lagoon swings everything in the pass and therefore average view and the stronger the currents the more true it is (the top being rangi).
In the “small passes (Faka Sud, Tikehau) it is much clearer. In addition this year exceptional weather: Wind from South East to South West to decorate the oxen (usually north) which means that all the passes to the North (Faka and Rangi) there were hardly any arrivals during the end of July and August !!
Voili voilo, now what you shot, it would surprise me that you saw it in Med !! : o)
Come on, Maruru to Scuba People and Nana to everyone!
Wow !!! No re-entry ... not the foot ... but hey ... it's still magical!
Thank you Steph for these details 😉
I confirm it ENOOOORME! I didn't think I would ever have almost the same shot sequence: A Manta that crosses 3 huge Eagle rays above a fantasia of at least 150 gray and overhung by a srrabande of 200 Barracudas !!! and I'm not talking about tuna…. when in South Faka I gave up counting the grays…. In short MAGICAL returning or not!
Stop a bit… I have runny slime !!! 😉
