Warren and Erica depart Fakarava, French Polynesia, after a month of diving the South Pass during the grouper spawning event.8:08 The crew utilizes an onboard Coltri MCH6 dive compressor to manage the high volume of daily dives, avoiding the local $15–$20 per tank fill fees.2:00 While exiting the atoll, they coordinate a mid-water dinghy rendezvous with friends on the vessel Agape to transfer a damaged GoPro for a warranty replacement.10:39 The pair then begins a two-day passage toward Tahiti and Moorea, maintaining a steady 7-knot speed in 16 knots of wind.16:02 During the transit, they catch a Wahoo, marking their first successful harvest of the species in four years after previously misidentifying one as a barracuda.18:34 The crew notes that reef fish in Fakarava are protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site and carry risks of ciguatera poisoning, necessitating reliance on pelagic fish caught in deep water for fresh protein.15:19
