A 40-mile solo motor passage from one French Polynesian atoll to another in the Tuamotus brings Lauren Landers to a rarely visited atoll with two passes and exceptional diving.1:06 The first pass is narrow, shallow, and runs 4 knots of current against her; no tide chart exists for it, so she flies a drone to read the tidal state before entering.4:32 Once inside, the group — including crews from Pinnacle, Agape, and Casablanca — dives the pass and then moves to a second pass to spearfish along a wall that drops steeply to over 100 feet from a shallow surface.0:52 A freediving session along that wall turns up 30-plus sharks that retreat to the shallow reef when approached — a setup she calls unlike any other pass she has dived in the Tuamotus.10:09 A subplot runs through the episode: her dog Mako suffered an allergic reaction to a rabies vaccination required for travel, vomiting and foaming at the mouth while she was boarding a plane, but stabilized by the time they reached Tahiti.1:32 She also covers using the Salee eSIM app for connectivity across 200-plus destinations.3:17 When no tide chart exists for a pass, drone reconnaissance of the surface current provides a workable substitute.4:48
