We had a great time on the island. Ryan and I went scuba diving which was a blast. We also done lots of snorkling. We went through 5 disposable underwater cameras. The Great Barrier Reef is awsome. It sure is a sight to see. The coral is pretty to look at. Snorkling there is like being in a huge aquarium. The 3 coolest things we saw was a manta ray, sharks and turtles. Lot and lots of turtles. Photos to come. The turtles are really friendly. They'll let you swim up to them and scratch them. We all got a scratch in. The sharks on the other hand are not as friendly. They don't bother you. They really have no interest in you at all. On the last day, there was talk of a manta ray hanging out by the lighthouse. We had a glassbottem boat tour booked the night before and they took us out. At the last minute we saw what we were looking for. The boat operater turned around and Ryan and I jumped off the boat for a closer look. We got to about 20 feet of the Manta Ray. It was one of the coolest things I have ever saw. They are so graceful. Carol got a photo of it from the boat. I'll post more when I get the photos developed.
