The earliest 'alarm' yet of the trip with the onset of 6am developing the silence of Palm Cove into an absolute cachony of horribleness. Stil, this allowed us to be parked up in Cairns outside the reef boat terminal for our second trip to the reef, this time on down under cruises.
The trip outward much faster in this modern boat, but also quite rough, which made listening to the scuba introduction quite tricky! On arrival at the reef, we were in the last group for scuba, so we spent about an hour snorkelling at the reef before the first scuba dive, where we were both attached to the instructor the whole way. However, despite this, we loved it and I cashed in my Christ,as present to be used for fun in Australia.
The boat then moved to a second reef and following a short snorkel, we then had our second scuba dive, this time although with an instructor, we were pretty much on our own. hpily our instructor was great at seeing loads of neat stuff, so along with Nemo, a reef shark, a ray, a clam and loads of fishes, we also managed to see a turtle, which was incredible! An incredible day all round!
Back to Cairns, and a drive south to Fishing Falls, where we spent the evening, no food outlets were open, so it was a bit of a quiet evening, although kind of needed after a 6am start,
