Norman Reef - Clipper, Australia
By diego, 2008-07-20 11:12:00
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.

Norman Reef - Clipper, Australia
By diego, 2008-07-20 09:16:00
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, Australia
By diego, 2008-07-20 06:50:00
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.

Norman Reef - Troppo's, Australia
By diego, 2008-07-19 19:15:00
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.

Trip: Cairns
By diego, From 2008-07-18 to 2008-07-23
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!
