Fish of all shapes, sizes and vibrant colours surrounded us and every time we dove down, they followed us, curious at the huge animals that were visiting their space...little starfish and other little ocean creatures peppered the wrecks and the surrounding sand banks and it was spectacular...It is quite a unique and special ecosystem that has been forged from the remnants of human activity.
And that was truly just the start...the colours just exploded around us...colourful fish surrounded us as we swam further into this underwater oasis, magic sparkling around us as the sunlight shimmered down from the water's surface. And I had no idea that being here with our friends could possibly get any better.
A dizzying array of colour literally surrounds you as the fish swim with you. The Great Barrier Reef is renowned for a very good reason…and I promise that there is nothing like it. It is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and it more than earns its place.
