Bora-Bora Warning or Danger Tips by nicolettart

You may find any of these three sharks while in Bora Bora's lagoon:

Blacktip reef shark: olive-brown in color, about 1.5 m long and identifiable by black edges on its tail and fins, slightly curious, so be careful.

Whitetip Reef Shark: longer, identified by white spots on fins and tail, indifferent to divers, not dangerous, don't worry.

Grey Reef Shark: about 2.5 m long, completely grey in color, it's a curious fish, can be dangerous, so watch out.

For the most part, the locals will tell you that the sharks will not bother you, and if you go to the shark feeding you will see this is true of the blacktip reef sharks.

You don't want to meet this guy!!!!
While snorkeling I encountered an eel, which poked its head out from its hiding place. I was some distance away, but close enough
to observe its sharp set of teeth, which really gave me the creeps!
