Tahiti!!

[ostrow]

On a frigid day, just to tick people off....

Jill and I went to Tahiti on our belated honeymoon. We stayed here:

We saw cool gobies that can live on land. Click on the picture to see the video:


We saw crabs too:

But this is ReefCentral, so I am assuming we want to see this:

This parrotfish had a bad day (what is the fish that is eating the parrot?):

Tangs and a Manta Ray (one twice the size of this one swam off and my photo wasn't quick enough):

Some color:

Are these feather dusters? Psychedelic!

Picasso:

Star:

Vista:

Polyps:

Yes I was there:

And what Tahiti is known for.... clams!

Great pics! we went to Moorea for our honeymoon way back in 1996, what an unbelieveable paradise, ruined the carribean for me

we went in the age before digital cameras, so I only have pics we took with one of those disposible underwater cameras, but they still took decent pics. I need to go dig those out now.

Beautiful. That's a dream trip for me, but for now I'll have to settle for seeing it through other's pictures. Thanks for sharing.

very nice Ostrow, thanks for sharing your pics, glad you guys had a great time. The pics with the school of tangs pretty cool, makes me want to take a warm vacation away from this frostbitten weather.

this is amazing, did you take those pics snorkling ? or were u diving ?

 

[ostrow]

Both. Unfortunately, on my independent dive I didn't have the camera. So didn't get the sharks, leaf fish, lionfish, rock fish, and deep reef on camera. Next time !
