diving at the Great Barrier Reef

I dived at the Great Barrier Reef last Monday and Tuesday. Wow that was unbelievable!

I booked 2 one day trips, one on the Ocean Freedom and one on the Poseidon.
Despite the fact, I have the Padi Openwater and are allowed to dive to 18 Meters, I ordered a introductory dive, because i didn't dive the last 4 years.

My first dive in the morning was just great and the diveteacher sent me to the certified divers group for the afternoon.

The Ocean Freedom leaves from the Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns whereas the Poseidon from Port Douglas, which means a 1h drive by bus.
The Poseidon is also a bit more luxurious than the Ocean Freedom but both ships are quite big and can carry many divers and the whole equipment. The support is similar on both boats.

To dive the Great Barrier Reef was amazing and everybody should do that, even if there is no certificate and if you really afraid of diving, do snorkeling.
