You really have to do this at least once! Snorkling in the Great Barrier Reef. The Coral Sea hosts some of the most beautiful underwater scenery and fauna in the world! Has to be seen to be believed. A short 20-30 mile off-shore trip on the Poseidon from Port Douglas will land you in the calm waters of the Pacific off the great Barrier Reef. These pictures do not do justice to the spectacle underwater that has to be seen to be believed! And the staff are very friendly, with a full eye on safety first! This was both a first swimming lesson and a snorkling lesson in one - nothing like being just thrown in the middle of the Pacific in the relatively cold 25 degree Celcius waters - good that I had a wet suit - helped me keep warm, float and see the sights!
