A wonderful day ..but I have no photos to prove it!! My brand new underwater camera failed the test..nothing worked...:-(
Got to the boat - Tusa6 -at 7.40 and realised pretty quickly that I was the oldest person on board..by about 30 years! We set off and motored out to Hastings reef, 25 nm out from Cairns about as far out as you can go. The whole experience was awesome!! Dressed in a stinger suit..a kind of giant baby gro with a hood and mittens just to go snorkelling...stinger as in jelly fish..and yes I did see some!
Spotted 2 turtles and a little shark and a myriad of wonders. Nemo was there with his other clown fish friends, parrot beaks, soft and hard coral, bright purple sea anenemones that disappear as soon as you get near them.. The snorkelling was amazing but the diving...a truly wonderful experience with new wonders at every breath. Tusa mafe us all feel very welcome and the safety briefing was very clear and they looked after us very well..safety was paramount!
The second dive at covent garden was cut short as there was another storm brewing..so we had a bit of a wild ride home!!
So lookingforward to doing it all again in Indonesia! !
