Day 9 - GBR


So today was absolutely amazing!!!  We woke up early and got on a boat to head out to Green Island.  This would have been really fun, but the weather continued to be a pain.  So of course it rained for the first half of the day.  Well once we got to Green Island we got to walk around and go to the beach. (Not the best beach day ever) While we were here some of us decided to go scuba diving once we got the the Great Barrier Reef and I was one of them!  I was pretty nervous about it at first, but in the end it was a great choice!  After we left Green Island we headed to a boat that was stationed at part of the reef.  Once we were here we could snorkel and scuba dive!  I chose to do a little snokeling before we went scuba diving and this was a great choice because it is very difficult to just breath out of your mouth and it took a lot of practice.  I finally got the hang of it and it made scuba diving so much easier.  I also finally got to use my underwater camera case that I was so excited about and I got some pretty cool pictures of all the underwater creatures!  Scuba diving was absolutely amazing!!!  I did have a small panic attack while we were doing our training, but I quickly calmed down and was able to relax.  Once we were underwater it was so relaxing and beautiful!  There were so many differnet types of fish and coral and we even saw a shark!  Some of us pitched together and rented an underwater camera that we could dive with and we got some great pictures! 

Overall today was my absolute favorite day!  I am even thinking about getting certified to got scuba diving!
