Here we are diving off the boat. It was about 100 ft. long, and totally set up for diving. There were 24 passengers and about 10 crew for 3 days…pretty nice! In this photo, I’m entering the water in what they call a “giant stride” where you take a big step off a platform to the warm water about 8 feet below. We saw some really cool stuff down there – giant cod, lionfish, garden eels and nudibranchs, which is kind of a colorful sea slug. We did 3 or 4 dives per day.

Watched “Open Water” the movie last night. The story of how they came to leave two divers out in the ocean is too much to believe. Forget about seeing it. I’ll tell you later if you want.
Are we still talking the Great Barrier Reef here? It would make sense. Isn’t the reef way out from the mainland so you are usually talking multi-day dive trips?
Yes, still the Great Barrier Reef. It’s over 100,000 square miles of World Heritage protected site. We’ve seen Open Water, too…that is one scary movie. You would not believe the precision with which dive boats now count heads. You have to sign out when you dive and sign in when you come up.
