Join me and shark conservationist Denis Grosmaire for an expedition like no other in French Polynesia. Shark diving, freediving and spearfishing during the new moon next October 2023. This is not your typical expedition: off-the-beaten track and cooking your catch on a desert island. Ready?

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!
