How Many People Saw the Green Flash?
A group of divers enjoying a quiet moment watching the sunset in French Polynesia. Everyone was waiting to see the green flash, but only three saw the fleeting moment. It is a simple and precious moment that is easily overlooked in our busy city life. A liveaboard trip offers the time to relax and enjoy such a moment.
Bait Ball!
What a treat! It was around 6pm at Santa Barbara Island, and several sea lions were out playing and enjoying their dinner. I was getting hungry seeing the bait ball getting smaller… I wanted to go back to the boat and eat my dinner, but my urge to stay and watch them won over my hunger.
Dreaming... Under a Jetty in French Polynesia
It was so unreal... all these onespot snapper (Lutjanus monostigma) hanging around under the jetty as if enjoying the shade. It felt like I was in a dream.
Dreaming of Dolphins
This friendly pod of dolphins visited us during our dive to play with us and let us touch and hug them. They played with our bubbles and seemed to enjoy feeling the bubbles on their bodies. They wanted us to give them belly rubs… they wiggled their tails when they enjoy the massages. I have never experienced this type of intimate encounter with wild dolphins. I think I understand why so many people want to go for a romantic getaway in French Polynesia.
Flaming Sea Fan
The rich, bright colors of the sea fan on this reef caught my attention during one of the dives at Forgotten Islands. There are not too many places like this where you can enjoy such amazing biodiversity.
