Feb 22 Cairns

Today is the main port for the Great Barrier Reef 🪸.
We were at the dock  locking out over the terminal and a flying fox was in the air.    We did the snorkel and scuba tour out to Hastings Reef.

It was a very grey day with a few small squalls blowing through. I went though the scuba briefing just in case.  I pulled up an old dive letter with my cert #.  

The reef was about 30 miles from shore and was about 1.5 hour ride on a giant motor cat.   The boat was setup well for getting everyone into the water.  
The water was not as clear as I hoped but it was ok.   The surface was rough and bouncy making the snorkeling a little challenging.  
After the snorkel I was able to do the second dive.  
Video coming soon.  Stay tuned
