South Pass Fakarava

After an hour or so We headed down the lagoon following a well marked Channel, Yet full of Coral heads!! 3 hours later we arrived at the South Pass.Ethan was up the rig for 4 hours!  The South pass It is too shallow to get entry from the ocean for deep draft boats so this area is quite remote. The small village here is the same as 20 years ago. But smaller...The main village was  moved up to the North pass over the years as that is where the airfield and the sea entrance is. Our afternoon, after a fabulous lunch was spent drift diving the South pass, snorkeling with about 30 black tip reef sharks, paddle boarding and walking on the sandy beach.. All this before a fine Dinner of Who Dun it Murder mystery in a pirate theme..Sooo much fun..
