Swimming Through Fish Fish Sting Ray A Nudibranch, Tsunami's, and the Shortest Bungie Jump in the World Heading out of Alice Springs, I jumped the only plane to Cairns, pronounced more like Cans. Qantas is the only airline that flies out of Alice Springs, so prices aren't cheap.

Scuba Duby Doo
CONGRATULATIONS!!! We all knew you were certifiable but congratulations is still in order. :) Yet another amazing adventure in your long line of adventures. I'm sure you'll never forget this one and it's probably a far cry from any zoooos dvds you were doing last year. Love the photos and videos and I give you credit for diving in the world famous Great Barrier Reef. I'm so glad you didn't see any great white sharks and you managed to stay a safe distance from the stingray. Whew. And night diving? Oh mercy. You're a brave soul. I like your new interest in underwater photography. I'm gonna look up a photographer you'd be interested in seeing. Keep having fun, be safe and keep up the great blog!
