Tuamotu Archipelago

Tuamotu Archipelago
The blue blue water of the South Pacific in the middle of the Rangiroa atoll, Tuamotu Islands, French Polynesia.
The cruise ship M/S Paul Gauguin is one of few cruise lines to visit Rangiroa, a remote atoll in the Tuamotu Islands of French Polynesia. The atoll is a huge "O", formed by the edge of a narrow volcanic ring that just breaks the surface of the ocean. This image shows the where the ship just passed through a narrow opening in the ring toward an anchorage in the middle of the "O". The inside of the O is so big that you can barely see the surrounding atoll on all sides of you when you're in the  middle.
The reef off this small sandbar "island" in the middle of the huge lagoon of the Rangiroa Atoll is a great place for scuba diving. And that's just what we did, off the marina on the aft of the cruise ship M/S Paul Gauguin. The clouds camp up and smited our ship with a torrential downpour that caused our captain to leave the Tuamotus early, after a surprise typoon-like storm hit the ship the day before in Fakarava.  #blue #SouthPacific #adventure
