If you travel to Australia, you must snorkel or dive the Great Barrier Reef. It was the one adventure we planned for on this trip but we were worried about the weather. No worries. We had a great time out on Divers Den and great weather.

We were the first to arrive. In fact, twenty minutes early but we’d rather be early then miss the boat. It looked like it was going to be a beautiful day.
I squished my body into the wet suit. I wasn’t planning on it but when everyone else had one on, including crew, I thought I better. It was for protection against the killer jellyfish. Bruce went in without one but he did wear a shirt which is protection. Apparently you can die from the box jellyfish within minutes, Yikes!

Our first snorkel sight was on Saxony Reef, with its beautiful coral and vibrant fish.
The water was a little wavy but it was still wonderful.

We had lunch on board. The Reef from the top deck was amazing.
They moved the boat to another spot after lunch. Unfortunately, the sea was much rougher so the water was churned up quite a bit and the colors were not as vivid as in the morning.
It was an amazing day on the Reef. And nobody was stung by jellyfish although I saw a few of the harmless kind.

Gorgeous! Can’t wait until our trip our there !
