Nudey Beach
Mary, myself and Kara taking a break on Nudey beach after a morning kayak excursion.
I was getting real tired of the picture taking at this point.

Baby Moth
Unfortunately, this moth was dying. The resort staff brought it around for show during breakfast.

And then there were six...
A trip that started out with 50 individuals wound down to six hardy souls exploring the wilds of Cape Tribulation.

Branch Coral - GBR
There was NO way I was skipping the opportunity to spend quality time on Barrier Reef.

Pretty Fish
Okay..the title was a pass..I can't remember the name of this fish.
It was so cool to swim up on these types of fish. The coral fields we moored on were in fairly decent condition - as most were just recently re-opened to divers. I saw a couple reef shark, turtle and scores of clown fish.
The night diving was fantastic, the water so clear and the moonlight so strong that I was able to switch off my torch during the dive.

Pretty Coral
Just sit back and admire the clarity of the water...
Sigh...

Exploring the GBR
Alright, let me clarify that I am a conscientious diver and did soon realize that my dive computer was dangling and reattached it to my BCD.
The water temp was cooler that I realized and I wish I had brought my polartec skin with me.
