SV Delos Takes us Diving (With Sharks)!
Welcome to another update from Elixir's voyage around the world!
We're currently making out way through the Tuamotus, which are the largest chain of atolls in the world.
In this episode, we're anchored in the south pass of Fakarava, a world class dive site, and home to the famous wall of sharks. It's also the time of year when the groupers spawn, which was a pretty impressive sight.
This was our first proper diving experience, and a massive thanks to Brian from SV Delos for making it happen!

SV Delos takes us on an unforgettable adventure to the South Pacific where they explore some of the most remote destinations, including the stunning Fakarava Atoll. This is one of the world’s largest atolls located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life.
The Fascinating Journey Across South Pacific Waters
The Elixir Voyage crew sails across the vast, mesmerizing expanses of the South Pacific aboard their Sparkman & Stephens Swan 37. Their destination? The enchanting Fakarava Atoll – a magical world that only unveils its wonders as you approach from miles away.
Fakarava – A World-Class Diving Destination
The main highlight of this adventure is the incredible diving that takes place right next to South Fakarava. Despite not carrying dive gear on board, our friends at Delos step in and provide an unforgettable diving experience.
A Journey into a Thriving Underwater Ecosystem
Dive master Brian from Delos takes the Elixir Voyage crew diving to witness the incredible grouper spawning event, which only happens on a specific full moon cycle. Thousands of spotted groupers gather in the pass ready for an epic spawning event that’s unlike anything seen elsewhere.
Exploring Fakarava – A Slow, Desert Island Life
Aside from the exhilarating diving experiences, there’s much more to discover on the Fakarava Atoll. The islands offer a glimpse into what it might be like to live in a remote desert island paradise.
Learning and Gaining Through New Experiences
nIn a beautiful gesture of friendship, Max offers to tattoo a traditional sailor’s swallow on Delos’ Brian. It represents their journey and the incredible 16,000 miles they’ve traveled together.
