This has NEVER happened! [Ep169 RED SEAS]

🌊 We Had This World-Class Dive Site ALL TO OURSELVES! 🦈 | Sailing French Polynesia After nearly 2 years of exploring the remote atolls of French Polynesia, we never expected to have one of the most famous dive sites in the South Pacific completely to ourselves! 🤯 No dive boats, no crowds—just us, our dinghy, and a breathtaking underwater world teeming with sharks, coral reefs, and marine life. 🦈 Diving Alone at South Fakarava Pass Fakarava’s South Pass is renowned for its shark wall, where hundreds of sharks gather in crystal-clear waters. Typically, this site is busy with divers, but on this rare occasion, we had it all to ourselves. With zero surface support, we had to get creative—setting up our own drift dive without a pickup boat. The result? One of the most thrilling dives of our lives! ⚡ In This Episode: ✅ Drift diving with a wall of sharks 🦈 ✅ Meeting Cookie, the curious shark and his friends 🦈👀 ✅ Exploring hidden underwater caves and reefs 🏝️ ✅ Dodging storms and navigating tricky atoll anchorages ⛵💨 ✅ Running on fumes to reach the only fuel station for miles ⛽🚤 🔹 If you love sailing adventures, remote diving, and off-grid living, hit that LIKE & SUBSCRIBE button to follow our journey across the Pacific! 🌊 📍 Where are we?
