- [Woman] The idyllic islands of French Polynesia

may seem like a relaxing paradise

of pristine reefs and clear waters,

but take a dip below the surface.

Are you ready for a swim?

Fakarava is a rectangular shaped atoll

located in French Polynesia in the South Pacific Ocean.

The southern parts of Farkarava

is known as the gray shark wall

due to having the highest concentration

of gray reef sharks in the world.

Since 2006, the sharks have been protected from fishing,

which is attributed to their population increase.

During the day the sharks are fairly docile

and conserve energy, ready to hunt their pray at night.

Although the exact number of sharks

found Fakarava is uncertain, with only 650 human residents,

it's likely the people are outnumbered.
