Finding Nemo… in real life. 🐠

From the crystal-clear lagoons of French Polynesia to the overwater bungalows of Moorea, this trip was nothing short of unforgettable.

Snorkeling just steps from our bungalow, surrounded by vibrant reefs and tropical fish—and finally spotting a clownfish after 50+ years of diving—felt like a full-circle moment.
