Great Barrier Reef, Cairns
After adventourous days in the Red Center (Alice Springs), we set our direction northeast and landed in Cairns. This city is very close to the great barrier reef, and very many come here to snorkel or dive to see the wonderful life of corals and fish. We had already decided to spend alot of money and learn to dive. First we had 2 days of theory and practice in a pool, and then we went on a 3 day boattrip to the outer reefs. We made it without to many problems, and are now certified adventuredivers!!! Jippi!
The Reef is absolutely fantastic, and there are so many different beautiful fish. As you see in the picture, we got to meet Nemo (clownfish). We also saw the white tip reef shark several times. Surprisingly, it wasn't very scary. Not even at night (we did a nightdive). It doesn't really care about people, only when it is defending it self. We also got to meet Brian, the 100 years old turtle. She was big! Aproximately 1,5m long.
The picture is taken by Paddy who had a really good underwater case for his digital camera. Something to think about for those who want to go to the reef. You can rent underwatercameras, as we did, but it can be difficult to take good pictures. But great fun!!!

Strålende å se at dere har det bra. Men jeg liker ikke helt de bildene som dere publiserer på bloggen deres. Det er nesten litt ekkelt å se så brune og fornøyde mennesker i Februar.
Har fått meg blogg jeg også, så der kan dere når som helt stikke innom og lese de dårlige tankene mine. Har til og med linket opp bloggen deres fra min.
Kos dere masse, vi snakkes når dere kommer hjem.

Hello, Paddy here.
I just wanted to advertise myself. Having plenty of underwater photographic experience (10 dives) I have decided to hire out my skills as a diver including my camera. I am quite capable of photographing marine life, beach shots and even underwater weddings! If there is anyone interested please email me thomasdawe@btinternet.com. Oh and by the way Christian, I'm still expecting my royalty fees?!!!!
