The first pictures come from the first pension where I landed which was nice but a little bite expensive for my budget. So I ask the diving center to come to pick me up in same time that they were driving to the diving club : on my way to my first dive on an atoll.
I met all the team of instructors who gave me the instruction on the site and 10 min after we were already in the boat.
The dive was interesting for me as it was the first time that I was going down in the blue: which means that you don t see the ground only blue everywhere... very impressive even more when some shark come to turn around when your going down. As nobody was scared, I understood that it was a specie of shark not dangerous for human, but it s still very impressive when your not used to it. I must confess that I consume my oxygen quicker than if they were not here: you consume more when your a little stress... The dive was one more time amazing, thousand and thousand of fish turning around or in formation, huge fish as Napoleon fish and plenty of corals everywhere... Whaaooooo
To finish the day on a very good note, a spectacle was organize in one of the restaurant of the island with Polynesian Dance and show. First we had a girl who showed us at least 20 techniques to put a Pareo, then 2 boys showed us how to open coconut, and then we had Polynesian dance with Polynesia music and sunset on the background.
