Great Barrier Reef
As great as it is famous, the world’s largest coral reef system is a place any diver should experience. Diving is expensive and is hopefully not the only option, snorkeling with some “duck-dives” would enable you to see a lot too!
I’ve been on the boat “Reef Encounter” for two days, the package I chose include 5 day dives, 1 night dive and a SSI Advanced Course for AU$430, sounded like a good deal even if it would certainly be slightly cheaper in Southeast Asia. But there’s only one Great Barrier Reef so…
This trip brought us on the “Norman Reef”, 70km off Cairns, advertised as “Incredible visibility, underwater canyons and night diving”, not so sure about the canyons but the visibility during the dives was quite good. The dreamlike underwater landscape was the reason why I came and I’ve not been disapointed at all, I even saw a Shark, scarrrry…
