Rangiroa is an atoll in the Tuamotu archipelago (not the Society Islands like Moorea or Tahiti). It has no majestic mountains, but it is famed as a great diving destination. I, however, did not have much luck with snorkeling in Rangiroa because I just couldn’t keep water from filling up my mask. I guess I should have shaved that morning <sheepish grin>. All photos were taken with an Olympus TG-4 camera (waterproof to 50 ft / 15 m).
