I dove off the back of our sailboat into the warm waters of the South Pacific just after sunrise. My husband and 10 year-old son followed, each holding an underwater camera. Together, we kicked over to a nearby coral reef. This wasn’t our first time snorkeling off the gorgeous island of Taha’a in French Polynesia. My family had already spent two weeks exploring the Society Islands abroad a catamaran that we’d chartered from Dream Yacht Worldwide.

Rangiroa is a laid-back Pacific paradise full of underwater wonders, including a bevy of shark species. One of the largest atolls in the world, the island lies 200 miles northeast of Tahiti in French Polynesia. My family of four spent three weeks exploring Rangiroa this winter. We snorkeled with sharks, watched dolphins frolic in the waves at sunset, and combed deserted shorelines for shells and sea glass.
