Bora Bora is a small island and famous for its crystal-clear turquoise lagoon, coral reefs, and luxury overwater bungalows. The island is dominated by the volcanic peak Mount Otemanu, which rises dramatically above the surrounding lagoon.

We chartered the Vitamin Sea Catamaran for the a day long sail through the lagoons of Bora Bora stopping to snorkel, drink, and have lunch at a Motu.

Fakarava & Rangiroa Diving

Diving in Fakarava and Rangiroa offers some of the most spectacular underwater experiences in Tuamotu Archipelago. These remote atolls are known for their strong ocean passes, vibrant coral reefs, and incredible marine life, including sharks, manta rays, dolphins, and large schools of tropical fish.

In Fakarava—divers can witness massive gatherings of grey reef sharks in one of the largest shark populations in the world. Rangiroa is famous for thrilling drift dives through Tiputa Pass, where divers often see dolphins, sharks, barracuda, and other pelagic species riding the currents.

Together, Fakarava and Rangiroa are considered two of the best dive destinations in the South Pacific, attracting divers seeking pristine reefs, dramatic drift dives, and extraordinary marine biodiversity.

Belize & Diving the Blue Hole (March 2007)

Belize is a small Central American nation nestled between Mexico and Guatemala, with its eastern coast opening onto the Caribbean Sea. It’s the only English-speaking country in Central America and is known for its lush rainforests, Mayan ruins, and one of the world’s most stunning marine ecosystems. Belize’s barrier reef — the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is the second largest in the world, teeming with coral gardens, tropical fish, and crystal-clear waters ideal for diving and snorkeling. Inland, visitors can explore ancient Mayan cities such as Caracol and Xunantunich, float through underground cave systems, or trek through wildlife-filled jungles that are home to jaguars, howler monkeys, and exotic birds. The laid-back culture, Creole and Garifuna influences, and eco-conscious tourism make Belize a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers alike.

I went on this trip with Bill Gilmore, Chip Mann, Michael Smitherman, & Turgay Uzer and we were celebrating my 40th Birthday!

Diving the Blue Hole

The Great Blue Hole, located off the coast of Belize near Lighthouse Reef, is one of the most iconic natural wonders in the world. This massive marine sinkhole measures about 300 meters (984 feet) across and over 120 meters (394 feet) deep. It was formed thousands of years ago during the last Ice Age, when rising sea levels flooded a vast limestone cave system. Today, it presents a perfectly circular deep-blue void surrounded by lighter turquoise shallows — a breathtaking sight both from the air and underwater. For scuba divers, it offers a surreal experience descending past dramatic stalactites and limestone formations, often in the company of reef sharks and groupers. While the deeper levels are mainly for advanced divers, scenic flights and snorkeling excursions from Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker allow everyone to witness its beauty.
