At last - a chance for some proper R&R. A 90 minute catamaran transfer from Cairns out to the Marine World diving base gave us all a chance to be tourists for the day.
The five hours flew by as the boys indulged in scuba diving, snorkelling and some sun worshipping. Crystal clear waters and an abundance of marine life meant the boys spent most of their time in the water. Being able to meet Wally as they prepared to get into the water was fantastic for everyone except Will Brown, who seemed to think that this gentle giant was after him personally! Being in the water whilst Amy, the onboard Marine Biologist fed the fish and gave a brief lecture about their feeding habits and life was awesome. However my highlight of the day has to be the 1-hour Adventure Snorkel where we were taken to the outer reef and given a guided tour, which included seeing most of the characters from 'Finding Nemo' as well as watching a reef shark swim underneath us!
I will post some of the photos when I get to Sydney, but for now you can click here Magic Reef Cruises to get an idea of our experience.
