Went to the outer reef this morning for an all-day scuba and snorkel trip! Took 2 certified dives and 2 snorkel swims and saw some amazing fish and coral - the colors, the sizes and shapes, and the sheer immensity of the Reef (as large as all of England) is truly overwhelming. Interesting views were cuddle fish, reef shark, clown fish (yes, Nemo), lots of angel and parrot fish, grouper (huge), and beautiful blues and greens (don't know their names). Met really nice people on the boat (Denmark, New Zealand, Brazil) and I'm looking forward to Wednesday when I go snorkeling on the inner reef and will probably see lots of turtles! Now I'm off to see a Toad Race (or Jump or whatever they call it - they are apparently really ugly little nasty beasts). Tomorrow is Cape Tribulation! (again named by Captain Cook - how did he get to name everything?)
Love the snorkeling picture. I am so impressed (but remember I can't swim!)! So where's the prince?
