Underwater Aitutaki



Some of our underwater film. It doesn't really give the real feel of how like a fish tank it is!

  1. Wow Laura, truly looks amazing. I've swam with fish in the Great Barrier Reef and Lord Howe Island but I don't remember it being quite so clear and translucent. Plus, I actually get a teeny but panicky and breathless because it is something just that little bit unknown. Those meringues looked yummy yesterday! Alison xxx

    1. Alison this was all done snorkelling - no diving. Aitutaki is so unspoiled. It's chrystal clear.
      OMG those meringues - they were huge and Lloyd and I ate them all! I felt sick but it was so worth it!

  3. That is SO amazing! Living in landlocked Montana, in the middle of prairie grasslands, I cannot even imagine such a thing. I bet it is out of this world amazing each and every time. Thanks for sharing the video.

  4. Oh, and do you know the names of the different fish? I was just wondering if that was common knowledge for such aquatic people as yourselves. I know almost nothing about fish.

    1. I know a lot of them, but couldn't begin to name them all! My all time favourites are the black and yellow and white ones ( at the end of the vid)they're Moorish idols, the yellow ones that there's millions of are butterfly fish, there's lagoon ( picasso) trigger fish, a few different kinds of wrasse, the huge ones are giant trevally, banner fish,we saw a turtle,
