Snorkellers at Hardy Reef where our Pontoon "Reefworld" is anchored.

Lea was a lot more nervous than she looks!

Just after my Scuba Dive. You wouldn't believe how heavy these things are. Good job we've had practise carrying backpacks!

What a nice pair of flippers you've got !

The proof, if needed, that Lea did in fact put her head in the water!

Our Transport moored alongside the pontoon.

Cleverly, this also became our dining room and toilets !

The Great Barrier Reef. Here, it is just a few feet below the surface. Coral likes shallow water and the continental shelf here means it is just that. Yet the coral also needs low nutrient water, which is why it's out here and not in the coastal shallows which has nutrients washed in from the land.

Lea, Brett and Beaulea desparately flapping their way back as the boat was about to leave! They were the last out of the water !

Lea trying to get Beaulea's mask to fit, before she discovered it was an adult size !
