Hey just thought i'd put some photos links up of the dive i did yesterday at the great barrier reef in cairns! was amazing! at first i was really annoyed that they wouldn't let me do a scuba dive because of my asthma, so i could only snorkel - but the reef was so close, only a couple of meters down that i could dive down to the bottom and at some points i was diving below the people diving with all their scuba gear on!  Saw loads of incredible, colourful fish ...
