12 dives, the Great Barrier Reef, monster turtle and sharks..

Once aboard and equipment sorted out, I buddy'd up with Melody from Canada and we were ready for the first dive.

Now I know your expecting loads of under water pictures, I don't have any. My "underwater" camera refused to work... Boo BUT.... Brodie a fellow diver has promised to send me his..yey!

The Barrier reef has always been one of 2 top slots on my bucket list... The other one is diving with a whale shark!!!! As soon as we were in the water we were quickly surrounded by the most beautiful sights the world has to offer... The color diversity of the coral and the fish was mind blowing..

The first dive site was the cod hole. Home to some the biggest Potato Cods in the world... And man they were big! These aren't the official photos.. But just so you get the idea...

There was also a handful of sharks. The white tip, grey, wobbegong and silver tips are all native to the Great Barrier Reef. Literally every dive we did we were in with sharks. The wobbegong was really hard to see he was usually hiding in caves and being incredibly good at camouflaging himself.. The white tip were quite small and generally snacking on little fish.
