Heading under the ocean in Morrea Tahiti

Heading out on our first dive over the reef of the lagoon.
The Lagoon is impressive; a snorkeling experience in it's self.
A little apprehensive about swimming with the sharks but great views from out here.
We swam with Black tip sharks (3 footers), Lemon sharks (6 footers) and their 4-5 foot friendly Barracuda.Very intimidating but wonderful.
Some amazingly colorful fish. So many it makes your head swim. I have never seen such fish life. Need a book to describe it all. Sorry we have no underwater pictures. You will have to settle for the scenery, and it is amazing.
