Great Barrier Reef

After we spent a week together with Stefan, Yoshie and the cute Kaya at Walter’s place in Kewarra Beach(Cairns) we booked a live aboard tour with Pro Dive Cairns.

More about the tour: http://www.prodivecairns.com/liveaboards.html

The tour was completely booked out, 35 guest on board and lots of them were students. The boat was huge and there was enough place for everyone.

The Great Barrier Reef is ok ๐Ÿ™‚ But, if I’m honest, I expected a little bit more of the reef.
The fish life was fantastic: lot’s of Clown Fishes, Sharks, Napoleons… But the most awesome thing was that huge, massive turtle!

Ningaloo-Reef

I did three dives during my first Australia & New Zealand trip in summer 2008 on the Ningaloo Reef. This reef is not as famous as the Great Barrier Reef but it was in a very good condition that time.

Highlights:
-First reef shark
-Manta ray

PS: The size of the Manta Ray is maybe not very accurate ๐Ÿ˜‰
