A diver's powerful beam cuts through the emerald waters of Makatea's underwater caves, casting ethereal shadows against the ancient limestone walls encrusted with mineral deposits. These submerged caverns, formed through the tectonic uplift of what was once a coral reef millions of years ago, create a mesmerizing maze of passages that challenge even experienced cave divers while revealing the complex geological history of this unique French Polynesian atoll.
