Reef sharks, turtles, a plethora of fish (we found Nemo!), plenty of coral and a couple of wallys swimming around in blue lycra. Join us on our 3 day dive trip on the outer Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, Queensland Australia. I was so excited when I (re-)found our scuba diving footage from the trip ☺️ A little shaky but this was the first clip we ever made!
The music is by one of my favourite Australian artists Xavier Rudd- Follow the Sun. ☀️
Full body blue lycra suits explained- In the summer months the deadly and basically invisible jellyfish called Irukandji descend upon the tropics. These little guys are 1cubic centimetre in size as an adult and are one of the most venomous creatures on the planet. So while the blue lycra suits aren't mandatory I sure wasn't going to take the chance!
To get to the reef it was roughly 2-3hrs by boat, then we transferred onto our liveaboard for the following 3days and it was freakin epic! So epic that it's the second time I've done the trip. And let's be honest, I'd love to do it again! Jumping in before sunrise with no land in sight and seeing the morning rays light up the reef is a sight to behold.
