The lagoon of Manihi atoll in the Tuamotus at sunset. When the weather is good, it can be wonderfully calm and peaceful like this. Great snorkeling weather!

We saw all sorts of animals while snorkeling in the Tuamotus. The water is so clear, you can see to the bottom in over 40 feet, and take photos like this one. This is an octopus about the size of a backpack.

I'm wearing a pareau, traditional clothing for the women here.
