Finding Nemo!

The main tourist attraction in Cairns is the Great Barrier Reef and we couldn't visit here without going to see it!

We jump on our boat and head out, just as it begins to rain! It takes about an hour to get there, during which time Kate goes and has an introductory talk about scuba diving (I'm just snorkeling so they don't need to tell me much!)

We arrive at the dive site and get in the water with Kate joining me for a bit a snorkeling before her dive. The reef was really close and we begin to see fish almost immediately! And the hunt for Nemo begins!

We managed to find him (and a relative) poking out from an anemone as well as some other multi-coloured fish. We had lunch on the boat and headed out to another site and saw many other fish (but no turtles or reef sharks).

It was a pretty impressive day and saw some really cool fish (spent most of my time chasing them around trying to get a picture of them!)

Back in Cairns, Kate & I got soaked to the bone as the heavens open and mucked around like children jumping in all the puddles!
