Fakarava!
So after Nuku Hiva we headed to Fakarava which is part of the Tuamotus. It took us four days which was so nice compared to our 30 days at sea voyage. We had enough fresh food to get us there. The thing about the Tuamotus is that they are all atolls. Look that up on google images for a better understanding but they are all super flat and extremly hard to see untill you are about 8miles away from them. We went through the south pass of Fakarava
And man was it pretty!! The most beautiful place I've ever been. The water is so clear and you can see black tip reef sharks all around you and tons of fish.
We brought with us one of the friends we made on Nuku Hiva his name is John and he lives in Japan with his wife Tomoko. But gets out and travels every year and returns to his loving wife after a few months. He and I took up the amazing diving opportunity they have in Fakarava. They have a dive called Wall of Sharks and you down about 60ft. You literally see hundreds of sharks grey, meiko, black tip and white tip. It was the coolest dive Ive ever done and I'm still a beginner diver. John has his master diver card and he said he has never seen this many sharks while diving.
And when I said hundreds of sharks I really mean we saw hundreds of sharks!! I was a little sad to leave Fakarava because of its perfect clear what and beautiful corals but Tahiti is next!
