Date: 10th August 2011 Place: Cairns Weather: Sunny We had a wake up call at 6.45am "/ ready to be diving at 7.30am!! I must have been super tired and dead to the world whilst I was sleeping because apparently an alarm had gone off on the boat that night which was pretty much right next to my room. I didn't hear a thing. There wasn't any breakfast before the first dive but there was coffee so I made the most of that. It was nice that my wetsuit had drie...

Date: 9th august 2011 Place: Cairns Weather: Sunny Laura and I were both going on snorkelling and diving trips today but separate ones.

Turns out it does and we kept on getting texts saying that it has been put off and they will contact us in 2 hours when they re assess the weather. Well this kept happening from 7am until 1am when we decided to head to t...

Date: 6th August Place: Magnetic Island to Cairns Weather: Sunny until it rained closer to cairns The bus wasn't picking us up until 11:45 so we had a while to wait in the morning. We decided to spend the majority of our time by the pool getting a bit of sun. I stayed there with my feet dangling in the water until Aqua aerobics started (or as Lauren calls it, the wave machine). So I moved so I didn't get wet. We got the local bus down to the ferry termi...
