Sharks in the Shallows, Rays in the Sun


Hand feeding the Sharks in Tahiti.
In the crystal-clear waters of the Polynesian lagoons of the Island of Bora Bora, Tahiti, visitors have the opportunity of an exhilarating experience. Donning masks and snorkels, they lower their faces under the water, and watch Polynesian divers feeding reef sharks as close as 20 feet from where they are standing. 1350 word article describes this experience, followed by a visit to another nearby reef where huge stingrays also come right up to the visitors to be fed.

For an unusual adventure experience that makes the adrenalin surge, this is a hard act to follow.


The stingray was very keen to get the small fish held by the boat man. The long thin black line on the right-hand side is the stingray's tail.
