All right. So, the main reason why anyone comes to this island is to go scuba diving
and because it's an atoll, which means it's this big, long, like, very narrow stretch
of sand. There's a lagoon on one side and the Pacific on the other. It's like a postcard
more than almost anywhere I've been, honestly. The water is just perfect. There's not that
many people here. And I think that it being such a well-kept secret is why it's so great.
So, the scuba diving here is great. There's a lot of mantas and sharks. So, let me show
you the little bungalow area and then let's hit the water.
This is where I'm staying, number 8. And a place like this is about 100 bucks a night
per person and it includes breakfast in the morning. This is the little sort of bungalow
village. Hammock, there's the bathroom, and there are Frangipani or Plumeria trees everywhere.
So, it smells really good. This is my favorite flower in the world for real. It's so nice.
And that's it. It's a really beautiful, quaint, peaceful place. And next, let's hit the water
and go diving.
How was that dive?
Matt: The dive was epic. It still washed salt out of my beard from all the sharks...
Me, too.
Matt: Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt: Yeah, that dive was epic.
That dive was epic. We had manta rays and then we had sharks. And now, we're gonna
have an epic sunset. I'm gonna time-lapse and Matt's gonna drone.
Matt: I'm gonna drone, Bruh.
Bruh. See you.
And here we are, paradise.
Matt: Good morning Fakarava. Fakarava. It sounds like a bad word.
No. We're in Rangiroa.
Matt: Oh, Rangiroa.
Don't tell anyone.
Well, well, well, a huge storm rolled in, like...so the afternoon
dive isn't happening today. We'll see about tomorrow. May not be able to do the South
Pass, which is a huge bummer but leaves me something to do when I come back because that's
happening for sure. And gave me all the more reason to have a nice shower. But check out,
this storm. It's insane. Oh, dear. You can't even see the ocean, but it's there.
There is a 70% chance it's already raining. Let me know if you know that reference. All right,
I'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully, things look a little bit better then. If not, we'll figure
out some othe r adventures.
What up? Day two of lots of storms. So, ne pas l'excursion aujourd'hui. And I guess I'll
be hanging out here again today. I can't even complain because I've had an amazing time
diving with whales and sharks. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish it was sunny.
Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow.
Well, lucky me. Weather cleared up and I was able to go on two dives today. And on the
first one, I spent such a nice long time with a manta ray. It was amazing.
So, tomorrow, my last day on this island, I think is gonna be absolutely beautiful.
Then, I have one day in Tahiti and then, Canada.
Paradise found. Last day on Fakarava. Last
like day and a half in French Polynesia. The weather is good. This is an amazing way to
spend it. I'm covered in sweat. So, now I'm gonna jump in. Oh, my God! That's amazing.
Well, Fakarava, it has been insane. Beautiful beach today. Probably the best I've
ever seen in the world and some amazing scuba diving. Next time I see you guys I'm gonna
be at my last stop in French Polynesia, Tahiti, to check out waterfalls and the most famous
surf break in the world. I'll see you then.
