I Just got back from the best weekend of the trip, my 2 days spent on a diving boat on the outer Great Barrier Reef. I finished my open water diving course out there, now I am a certified diver. On my last dive I saw a turtle, shark, octapus, giant Maori Wrasse (huge fish a meter or 2 long), attacking trigger fish, and of course a ton of beautiful colorful other fish and coral. We had about 25 meters of visibility under water, so we could see the wonders for miles. I am now a diving addict. I got in 5 dives, almost 3 hours of bottom time (underwater time) in the last 2 days, now I am feeling a bit nauseated. Maybe too much sun, or too much boat time... or nitrogen narcossis....


Just coming out of the water from my fifth dive


The sunrise from my boat, yes I got up at 5am to see it, well worth it
