Hi Jen & Kathy:

I made all the dives, and most of the snorkels, since my wife does not dive. They were all great.

We saw great fish everywhere: hammerhead and moray on Nuka Hiva, black tipped, lemon, and gray sharks at Rangiroa and Moorea.

During the Aquarium snorkel on Rangiroa we saw several variety of sharks, many tropical fish, three moray, and beautiful giant clams. The current was running the wrong way so we did not get to do the Tiputa Pass drift or snorkel. However, my parents did it a couple of years ago and said it was an absolute blast and a must for this area. SInce you are going with the current you would not be fighting it.

I did the shark gallery twice, as I do a lot of photography, and wanted to make sure I had good shark shots. Too many. You can also get some nice shark shots on the ray snorkel on Moorea: also a lot of fun.

I will get some pictures posted on my web site later this week and it will give you an idea of what is going on.

We had about 25 divers on the June 10 trip, and they were great. There were several kids, and we had a super time. You will really enjoy the trip, and be sure to dive in the Marquesas, as it is really unique.

Cheers,

Dan
