More Sea Life from the Glass Bottom Boat

Sea life in Bora Bora could be observed not only swimming past the glass panels in the bottom of the boat, but also swimming beside the boat and in the water itself. The boat made two stops, one to see the sharks (Black-Tip Reef Sharks and Lemon Sharks) and one to see the stingrays (and other fishes). The stingrays I observed were Pink Whiprays. Among the fish I saw were Convict Tangs and Latticed Sandperches.
