Morning light slices the lagoon into glass and shadow as a small skiff slips away from Moorea's reef, six people aboard and a guide pointing toward a distant motu. Salt sharp in the air, the boat eases onto a sandbank and the Pacific dares you into water warmed by the sun. Beneath, rays quarter the white sand and blacktip reef sharks patrol the shallows with casual authority.
