One last dive in the Great Barrier Reef

September 5, 2011 by thirdeyemom

The next morning, we woke up bright and returned to the lovely town of Port Douglas to do our last of three dives (this time we would be leaving from Port Douglas as opposed to Cairns).  I was really getting hooked on diving.  I loved the thrill, the adventure and the insanely surreal scenery below the water.  I could hardly contain my excitement! Here is a view of the gorgeous coastline. The pretty marina in Port Douglas where we would […]

We took the same company Quicksilver out to the reef, and arrived an hour and a half later.  The main highlight at the reef was a […]

Taking a Dive in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef

September 2, 2011 by thirdeyemom

I had always dreamed of going to the world-famous Great Barrier Reef.  It is one of those talked about, revered places that a true traveler must visit and explore.  Thanks to our vacation package with Qantas, a three-day stop over in Cairns was on the agenda.  We could have gone to see another natural wonder, Ayer’s Rock in the Outback, but in my opinion a rock could not hold a candle to the Great Barrier Reef, a hidden underwater fantasy land […]
