Today I went snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef. I saw tons of fish and coral. There was a some big brain coral and a big four foot clam. The salt water was warm. There are box jellyfish in the waters which are very poisonous. We had to wear long sleeved lycra suits.
We did 3 snorkel swims. In the morning the coral was most colourful. The coral is actually part plant, part animal and part mineral. Fish are scared of you if you swim near them. The boat ride out to the reef took about 1 1/2 hours. The boat was a catermaran and travelled about 55 km/hour (30 knots). We have booked to go again this coming Sunday.
