Australia

This morning I got up early for what was to become an amazing day!
After a quick check-in, I got on board of the Passions of Paradise sailing boat. The weather a bit grey, bit still nicely warm. We sailed out to our first stop on the reef. On the way there, we got a short diving lesson and got to fit on our wet suit and flippers.
I was in the third diving group, so once we arrived, I got to go snorkling first.
I was amazed! The reef sits just below the surface and you get to see the most amazing coral and fish.
After about half an hour of snorkling, it was time to dive. We got all geared up (that stuff is heavy!) and jumped in the water. 10 minutes at the rope to practice some basic skills and off we were. 4 people to each instructor. I got to hold on to Simons hand for the dive as he guided us around the reef.
Suprisingly, diving was much easier then I thought it would be. It was an amazing experience.
After the dive we had a lovely lunch, while we sailed to the next location.
I chose to do a second dive, this time a bit longer and a bit more free (less hand holding this time). The rest could go snorkling again or could go enjoy the sand on pristine beach (a massive sand bank).
This dive was even more amazing then the first. We saw sea turtles, sting ray, clown fish and so much more!
We sat down on the ocean floor to watch an entire school of fish swim by just over our heads. I can't even describe what it felt like.
Back on board to head back to shore, where it was luckily very sunny (it had rained quite a lot that day, but you don't really notice that in the water😉).
I'm defenitly considering gettig certified as a diver now (if my budget allows it).Okumaya devam et
