CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA--Snorkeling and Intro Scuba Dive

All I have to say is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! On Tuesday I went on a cruise that included snorkeling and a 20 minute intro dive to two different reefs and it was AWESOME...At first I was a little nervous, and it took a little bit to get used to the equipment and being under water and still being able to breathe through the air tank, but third time's a charm, so I eventually just bit the bullet and DID IT....... Australia has some of the most amazing underwater coral, fish, and other sea animals that it is incredible... I bought a CD with two pictures of me under water that the photographer took of me (first photo) snorkeling and scuba diving as well as lots of pictures that he took of the fish and other animals that we saw underwater... I will show them when I get home... I met some great people as well, so at night I went out to dinner and to some bars/clubs with two Canadians... The girl is actually living in Sydney, working for a few months, and her friend came to visit her, who is a guy, and they were both extremely nice... They kept on asking me "how do I do it?" This travelling alone, but they also thought very highly of me, which was nice... Hopefully I'll get to link up with them when I am in Sydney!!!
