Great barrier reef

Ellen's written loads already in her Blog about our diving exploits in the Great Barrier Reef, so I'll sum it up really quickly:

- sea very flat
- jumped in backwards
- saw a shark
- saw a turtle
- saw a massive maori wrasse (about double the size of me)

to be honest, parts of the reef were really disappointing, some parts we dived over were really dead, destroyed by cyclones or something. other parts were amazing though, so many schools of huge fish swimming in colourful channels of coral.

forgot to take any piccies though... doh! still, we were about 20 metres underwater so not sure if the camera would have survived (only supposed to go to 10 metres). we got a new disposable one that goes to 15 metres so will try that one next time... perhaps we will go to Sydney for some Great White hunting!
