Travel Diary - Day 13

Date: 3/29/97
Weather: cloudy, warm, sunny
Place: Great Barrier Reef, Cairns

I was up at 6:00 am again today, and on the first dive we saw two sharks, one of which was a little more than a meter and a half long. Dolphins swam in front of the boat for a while like they did yesterday when I got pictures. The only significant things we saw on the second dive were a lobster and a barracuda. We were hoping for a turtle, but it was okay, because the scenery was spectacular: huge coral walls covered with life. I could only snorkel while the rest of my group dived the last time, but I saw lots of blue clams. I met two girls from my group at the Wool Shed, and ran into Paul by coincidence, so I got to thank him.
