We dove the Great Barrier Reef today

Wow. Our trip to Australia is complete. After getting cancelled for a dive trip yesterday due to rough winds and seas, we re-booked on another tour boat today and had the most amazing experience on the reef. We left at 8 this morning and went out to a place called Hastings Reef located on the outer reef (look it up). Amy, Jenn and Michelle were able to try out intro dives with a great crew and got to actually participate in their first dives in scuba on the great barrier reef. Amy opted for snorkel after a rough ride out to the spot and some sea sickness lurking. We think she was literally high on dramamene- no fault of her own, of course. Jenn was a trooper, conquering one of her long time fears and making a new friend with the guide, who's hand she held tight with a death grip for the entirety of the dive. Michelle went back for more in the afternoon and got a private tour with the guide because she couldn't get enough of the action. Marissa jumped in with the certified divers and got 3 amazing dives in. pictures- so many pictures- to follow. They had a private photographer on board who followed everyone around and took photos. We purchased a CD with all the photos so that we have them to remember the day by. The pictures still do not even do this place justice. THe great Barrier Reef is immense and a great wonder of the world. It is the only living organism that is visible from space. The day could not have been better or exceeded our expectations.
