Which island in French Polynesia has the best snorkeling?

Perhaps the greatest snorkelling spot in all of the South Pacific can be found near the French Polynesian island of Tahaa, which is within shouting distance of its sister island, Raiatea. Tahaa is a quiet island distinguished by its low hills and vanilla farms, but it's also home to breathtaking coral reefs.
