The Great Barrier Reef

At last the day for our trip out to the Agincourt reef arrived and it was worth waiting as the weather was much calmer.

We were whisked out to the reef on a catamaran and visited three places on the reef; David dived them and Liz snorkelled.

We very much enjoyed the day, but it was difficult to avoid making comparisons with the reefs in the Red Sea off Jeddah. The coral on the Great Barrier reef seems less colourful and damaged and as a consequence there were less fish, although we did see a huge variety of marine life, including a white-tipped reef shark.
