I’m not an experienced snorkeler and I was amazed at the number of different species of fishes I saw in the reefs of Moorea. I’m also not all that skilled at fish taxonomy. If anyone spots an error in identification, please let me know! The underwater photos were taken with an Olympus TG-4 camera (waterproof to 50 ft / 15 m).
