Who knew there was a whole other world underwater! I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef! The boat departed from Airlie Beach at 8:00 and took three and a half hours to get to the outer reef. Once we got out into the ocean heaps of people vomited. It was really bumpy but I thought it was super fun. When we arrived at the pontoon which is like a base in the middle of the ocean we put on our stinger suits. Stinger suits are like thin wetsuits that protect you from stingers which are like little jellyfish.
We saw heaps of coral and heaps of fish. I even saw huge Humped Maori Wrasse. There was this underwater observation area and dad held his breath and swam down so we could take pictures of him.
I also went down this water slide into the ocean which was pretty cool. There was a German lady called Melli on the boat and I spoke some German to her! Here is a picture of the pontoon.
I love the photo of you in the stinger suits Maisie. X Nannie
