Beautiful pics! I love that lagoon scene. Amazing how you noticed that little pipefish. :rollface:

Beautiful, quite a fish-frenzy there.
Great shots, hopefully from an unbelievable trip.

I'd love to see/hear all you want to share about the trip, any insights you gained, or what really took your breath away.

Great photos! First class.

Here's a story for you....Last Saturday, I was snorkelling off my bungalow photographing the clams, eels, fish, etc..... when a local flagged me down. He introduced himself and was quite nice..... at least that I could tell with my high school French. Anyway, he was collecting clams for his family's dinner....MAXIMAS !!!. In fact, he was being nice and schucked one right there in the water for me to try......I can't believe that I ate a bright blue raw maxima that would have sold here for $150. I didn't have the heart to tell him that one of those clams was worth what was probably a week's salary for him.

Is that purple, encrusting sps at a shallow depth? Such color:eek2:

BTW, how did that maxima taste? heh heh.

 

[steveweast]

That monti was in about 3 feet of water.

Beautiful pictures, Bora Bora has always seemed like an amazing place to see.....Wow, now I've got to see it one day...

 

[ZippyBoy]

Great pics......looks even nicer than Australia.

BTW, the black tip in the second picture isn't happy. Were you feeding/chumming or just happen to get lucky?

What resort is that?

 

[Bear-E]

Gorgeous.

We are planning on going to Bora Bora this upcoming summer for our honeymoon. I too would love to know what resort that was...we are going to stay in one of the overwater bungalows as well.

Please let us know!!

Thanks,
Barry

AWSOME

 

[dufferdan]

Were you happy with the quality and service of the resort? Would you stay there again?
We are planning to go too.
Cheers
Great shots

I'm also curious how you liked the Bora Bora Nui.

We are just about set to book at the Bora Bora Lagoon Resort and Spa.
