French Polynesia ... Spawning Groupers & Hungry Sharks
With Ocean Geographic & photoprapher Michale AW  ...  June 9 - 19, 2019

Camouflage Groupers come together in a colossal aggregation in the south pass of Fakarava, French Polynseia, to spawn on the day of the full moon.  With numbers in some years exceeding 20,000 groupers, it is the biggest known aggregation of large reef fish. In 2014, Laurent Ballesta & his team recorded over 700 sharks feasting on the groupers during the spawning sessions. It's a WOW.

14 stunning nights in a remote Paradise: the Solomon Islands 2019
aboard the ever-popular Bilikiki   ...   October 1 - 15  ...  December 7 - 21  ...  December 21, 2019 - January 4

If your desire is to “get away from it all” we can’t imagine a more perfect choice than a trip on the Bilikiki in the Solomon Islands.  Each trip is distinctly unique and will be based on the crew’s decisions surrounding seasonal animal migrations and weather conditions. Having said that, you will find nothing but exceptional dive sites wherever you go.  Diving in the Solomons is pristine thanks to the lack of tourism and limited number of dive liveaboards and resorts.
