Scuba Diving - the Great Barrier Reef


Hi to all! Just got off of a 3 day-3 night sailing and diving tour (a yatch named the Anaconda III - Baby got Back!) of the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef. It was GREAT!!! Not only did I go scuba diving...but we actually saw a baby reef shark, so I guess you could say that we went SHARK Diving! It was after all a baby so definitely not a scary thing, but an incredible experience to say the least :) The GBR was fantastically wonderful in color, rich with sea creatures you've only seen on TV, and we're not supposed to touch anything obviously - but there it is at your fingertips! Unfortunately, I didn't have an under water camera, so you're gonna have to take my word for it. However, the other girl I dived with did have one so she said that she'd email them but you never know :(

Our group on the boat was a lot of fun - met a lot of people from all over the world, including only the second US Citizen in my travels thus far! I'm telling you a lot of Germans, Canadians, Asians, Brazilians, Swedish, French, and Irish but hardly ever do you meet Americans! Oh well, I get enough of them at home I guess :)







No pictures of me (I'm sure you all remember what I look like :) On the yatch we were only allowed to take 60 second showers - no shampoo- no conditioner - no soap - no makeup - nothing artificial that could harmful to the reef or sea life - therefore no pictures.
