Good: Saw hammerheads & mantas on same dive, sharks were 5-7 ft. away and not afraid. Good: Saw octopi frequently during day. Good: no other divers, only shop in town, sometimes only 2-3 divers. Bad: can't get to see Pygmy Orcas unless weather permits due to rough seas; only go during Marquesan summer December-April if you want to see them. Overall: Wild, remote, pristine, rustic accomodations, beautiful island; expect the unexpected. |
