About The Event
1. Expedition Breakdown:
8 Days, all included (except flights), freediving, spearfishing, photography and shark diving on a remote island (and I mean a really remote island) in French Polynesia. Join me (Luca) and shark conservationist, pro freediver and spearo Denis Grosmaire for what I can (with full confidence) say will be the best expedition you'll have in years.
Why these dates?
When a local tells you it's "the new moon" and you have to be here at this time because you will witness nature unlike anything you've seen before.
Well, then you pack a bag and go!
