We just got back from a 7 day cruise in French Polynesia. What an experience! I am still unpacking and getting things straightened out around the house, but I wanted to share the photos that our dive master took. I will try and post some more details later.

Oh man! Those are some great shots, Clint! You're DM has skills! I've never had the pleasure of diving in water that clear or lively. I was a barnacle scraper in the Navy. LOL

Very nice pics and look like you have a great trip. Did he take all those pics during this trip?

Yep! all of those pictures were taken during our week long cruise. I saw all of the animals pictured with the exception of the barracuda. I thought it was really cool that I saw lots of flame angels. We also saw coral beauties, a pair of fire fish, lots and lots of really nice clams, cow fish, moorish idols, false moorish idols, lots of different butterfly fish, and lots of triggers. It really was an experience of a life time.

Not to detract from the dives, but the snorkeling was also really good. I have some videos that show off everything that we saw. The video does not capture the vivid colors but you still get the idea.

Here are some video clips that I threw together. The video totally does not do the experience justice. The video was taken the very first time we entered the water so we were a little new at snorkeling, especially with a crappy video camera in one hand.

Here I am swimming with sharks on one of our dives (I am the one at the beginning of the video).

I have some other clips from later in the trip that I will try and upload later.
