Great Barrier Reef!

Day two! Up and on the boat @ 8am (groan) after a second shitty night's sleep. I don't know what it is about this place but I seem to have the wierdest dreams. Last night's could've made me millions as a horror/trippy suspense film if only I could remember the details now. ANYWAYS, after a two hour ride in a huge catamataran we got to our 1st dive site. I ended up getting the div supervisor of the boat as my guide for the first one; Dude looks EXACTLY like Hugh Laurie aka House for tv, so much so that EVERY day someone mentions it. After the first minute of "Oh Crap! I'm breathing underwater" hyperness, I got used to it and let me tell you they don't call the Great Barrier Reef one of the 7 wonders of the World for nothing. The place is BEAUTIFUL. So Colourful, so many fish! At the first site, besides the normal little fish we also saw a stingray and a reef shark. Now I thought I'd piss myself when I saw a shark but I wanted to chase this one. So excited. Granted he was only the size of my leg but still a shark none the less! The second site was more colourful than the first and the third was crazy! as soon as you got off the boat into the water you were swarmed by little fish like Nemo and Bubbles and they would start nibbling at your dead skin! A weird feeling and they loved my knees with the scrapes from tennis. there was also this HUGE (IE almost as big as me) fish that our guide fed a little bit and a foot away from my face. It was sweet! My only regret was that I didn't have my own camera so I had to buy the Professional Guy's photos.

It was 8am and this guys shoving a camera in my face?!?!?
