Well here I sit with coffee in had looking back at yesterday. I went to dive one more time on the Reef, and it is so awesome! Mike, my dive instructor, if you are reading any of this, thank you for helping me accomplish one of my lifetime dreams. If you don’t scuba dive, there is no way to explain the feeling that you get while down there. To think that my first six dives as a certified diver were on the Great Barrier Reef is amazing. Yesterday I managed to calm down so that when we surfaced I had more air and more bottom time than the first day. Saw more of a variety of fish yesterday—lion fish, huge grouper named Daisy (easy 3’ long and 1½ ‘deep) barracuda, sharks, angel fish, and so many more I can’t name! It is not enough to say that this is a hobby that I will continue!!! Kathy stayed behind to rest—she cleaned, worked on the blog, slept, washed clothes, and went with Tim to pick me up. Tim and Pam took me to Port Douglas to dive and then stopped at the Tropical Zoo and the Aboriginal Center on the way back. Fun, or rest, was had by all. Tomorrow we fly to Alice Springs!
