Great Barrier Reef

In 2005 we visited the reef from Port Douglas on a Quicksilver catamaran which took us to the Quicksilver platform moored at Agincourt Reef.

Most of the passengers elected to snorkel to view the reef and after donning wetsuits and snorkel gear they explored the designated reef area.

The glass bottom boat provided another way to view the masses of coral and fish and clams in the blue waters of the reef.

When holidaying at Dunk Island in 2007 we visited the Beaver Reef and coral cay aboard a smaller catamaran, the Quick Cat IV.

This time I went snorkelling which was a great experience – lots of colour and shapes with a variety of coral, starfish, sea slugs, giant clams and many different fish. I am not sorry that I had the experience but I was definitely not born to snorkel.
