This diving experience is not for the fainthearted. Head for Fakarava Atoll in July. It is there, during a full moon, that thousands of groupers gather in a specific narrow channel that runs through the reef. Lying in wait for them are almost 700 hungry grey reef sharks.
It is then that you will witness a raw, startling example of nature as the powerful predators literally gorge on a veritable banquet of live fish. Scuba trips to see this feeding frenzy from Fakarava Atoll start at $134.00 per dive.
