I am now a certified Open Water Diver !
No that does not mean I am a crazy nut who requires medication before
going in the water but it sure feels like you are on drugs ( good ones ) whilst floating around and looking at all the cool stuff there was on offer. Today we saw sea snakes, turtles, blue spotted sting rays and tons of colorfull fish. The visibility wasn't great, about five meters but
we were all ecstatic and 3 of us, Luke, Lisa and I are probably going to come back next week and do our advanced course.
We also saw a pod of humpback whales cruising on by. One of them almost swam under the boat
and was moving at a great pace. They are such majestic creatures and are so casual most of the time, swimming, breathing, swimming breathing but then you see thier great power when they breach and throw their whole bodies out of the water. Great stuff.
I've just bought a snorkel, mask and fins and am heading down to the Cape Range National Park to do some more aquatic sight seeing. Should be great
