Ravahere Island

by adf from Prescott

A large but uninhabited island in the Tuamotus, Ravahere has the usual pristine beaches and swaying coconut palms. The real attraction is underwater, where I had the best night dive of my life. Drifting in the channel between Ravahere and its neighbor island to the north we saw numerous sharks, mantas, and other large pelagics. Every centimeter of the undersea slope was covered in healthy coral.
