One day diving at the Outer Great Barrier Reef:

Today we got up at 7 o’clock and Paul drove us down to the port. There we got on a boat, that took us to the Outer Great Barrier Reef. The boat ride was horrible, the sea was really rough and many people got seasick. :/ Luckily, I took some anti-seasickness-pills in advance ( I got them from a very lovely couple from California) otherwise I would have ruined my diving-excursion. 😛 At the diving-spot we got our equipment and some instructions from the diving supervisor. Then I was the first to go into the water. 🙂 It was such a nice feeling to breath underwater, I didn’t really want to stop anymore, but after one hour I had to. I couldn’t take photos with my own camera, because we were 10 m deep, and my camera is only proofed to 6 m, so we could only buy the photos of the professionel photographer afterwards. 🙂 The underwater life was so colourful and amazing, I felt like diving into a new world. There were colourful corals, different kinds of the most colourful small and big fish all around, and at some places some sharks, too. 🙂 After the diving-trip we did some snorkelling but couldn’t spot as many fish as on the ground, at the depth of 10m, so we stopped and had lunch. 🙂 At about 3 o’clock we started to return to the port and arrived there at 4:45 pm. We were really exhausted and happily jumped into Paul’s car. ( He was waiting for us at the port!! 🙂 Such a nice guy! 🙂 ) It was a very amazing trip and we saw awesome fish, sharks and corals.

See the pictures guys. 🙂
