I'll be down in Tahiti in February for my honeymoon, and I've found that pearls are a pretty big thing down there. Because it's quite expensive I plan on quite a few days of just taking the free kayak from our guesthouse and going out snorkeling. I figure it'd be awesome if I was able to find something down there. Don't care about size or quality, just to come back with my own Tahitian pearl would be amazing.
Anyone know anything about pearl diving at all, let alone specifically around the Tahitian islands (Bora Bora, Moorea...)? I'm sure the odds are pretty damn small, and I've never looked for oysters much while diving before. Is it even possible to find something? Any types of places or things I should look for?
Cheers!
