No Experience Required

You step off a small jetty and into the salt-sweet air; the White Shark waits, low and white against a ribbon of turquoise. The captain eases out into the lagoon and Bora Bora opens its geography — shallow coral gardens, the silhouette of Mount Otemanu cutting a jagged profile, and motus (islets) that catch the sun like scattered coins.
