Norman Reef - Clipper

Last but not Least - Great dive. This time we managed to visit all spots we wanted too. There were several sharks resting on the bottom, and we dived through a cave.

Disoriented - Tried to see the weedy seadragons but were unsuccessful. We didn't quite manage to see the spots we wanted, we were simply disoriented. Highlights were the big sting ray and a couple of sharks resting on the bottom.

Norman Reef - Troppo's
By diego

Deep Dive - First deep dive. It's amusing to feel so clumsy in the deep. It's even more amusing to see the fish swimming, trying to steal the eggs that we brought to the deep for our little experiments with the water pressure.

Night Dive - The dive was great in that it was my first night dive but overall it wasn't outstanding. Was a bit scared at the beginning, when I saw so many sharks near the boat, before jumping in. But once in the water there were no sharks.

The actual dive was on 19th and 20th July. This was a liveaboard trip with 7 dives, including a deep dive (29m) and a night dive. The boat took us to Norman Reef, at the outer Great Barrier Reef... fabulous!
