Unreal experience! Sad to see how much of it is dying though.

I traveled through Australia coast to coast. So fulfilling. 

I learned scuba diving there. Great experience. Would do it again and again and again...

We went scuba diving in the GBR during out trip to Australia & New Zealand. This is my hubby diving:

Have done this several times as I live on the Coast of the Great BArrier Reef.

Three day live aboard scuba trip starting from Cairns, Australia.

It was awesome. We dived with reef shark and saw octopuses, lion fish, cuttle fish and much, much more. I strongly recommend it for any and all divers out there!

Went to Cairns, Australia to learn to scuba dive and got to experience the reef as a classroom.  It's amazing and beautiful and wonderful.  One of the coolest experiences of my life.  I cannot wait to dive again soon!

amazing time with the family :)

 Go Scuba Diving at Heron Island

not as colorful as i'd imagine it would be 

I actually was fortunate enough to do this twice! Once off a boat in Cairns, and the second time in the Whitsunday Islands. Both times I saw the most colorful fish I have ever seen in my life, including when I lived in Maui, and met two most amazing people of my entire Australian journey.

 I worked on Hamilton Island so could get mates' rates for scuba diving. Great experience.
