WE sailed to Fakarava just at the right time for the most epic dive ever! We happen to be in this atoll of French Polynesia for an event that only happens once a year and this time it's happening all below the surface.
Every June, on the full moon over 10,000 groupers come to the South Pass of Fakarava to spawn on the biggest tidal swing of the year. We were witness to the congregation for a truly unforgettable and honestly pretty unbelievable event. With the large gathering of groupers also triggered one of the largest gatherings of grey reef sharks and we were in the middle of it all.
Join us on our sailing adventures throughout the Pacific Ocean!
Thanks for following the adventures of WE!

@@WEsail Fair enough. But I was being ironic! Note to self - remember that America is an irony free zone. I am sure it was really hard work choosing from and editing all of that superb footage, but I was just expressing my jealousy about not being a part of those dives with all the grouper - I suspect that it would have been a life changing experience for me if I had been there!

You Brought back memories of my time working as a Dive Master on the Great Barrier Reef Auzz. My now wife was a videographer underwater. All the fish, sharks, the life style. I know exactly how you feel before , during and after your dives. Thanks for great videos. P.S I found sharks, white and black tip will warn you if they want you to back off, they arch their back downwards and really exaggerate their swim motion. Thanks again.

Well, you guys did it again. Showed us all such beauty; not on land, this time, but in the water. Really look forward to your mid week release. You inspire a lot of folks to go out and have adventures like this (so much so that we have certification classes early next year). Keep doing what you're doing! By far the best line I have heard all week "...the Groupers, not the Sharks. No, that would freak us the HELL out!" Ya think? I actually did LOL.

I’m not sure if it’s just my TV but your channel is the only one where the sound is either very loud or I can’t here the talking a few minutes later. Very frustrating because you produce cool videos.

Man thanks for letting us know, the sound is one of the hardest things to get right and we definitely still struggle even though we try to pay very close attention to it 🫤 it’s also very helpful that you provided the time so we can go back and pinpoint what went wrong… thank you, sorry about that
