Having learned to dive late in life I made up for it in my first year by clocking up 120+ open water dives in places from the UK to Australia. I went from a non diver to a technical deco diver in 9 months and loved every second of it. Since having kids not been able to travel as much so spend my time watching videos and reminiscing, hope you enjoy my site as much as I have making it.
I typed this up because one of my goals when I'm older is to go snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef and swim with dolphins and this sight is just so beautiful I LOVE this video!!!!
Thanks' for sharing, I will be doing almost the same thing as you, made the decision inthe early 1970's looking at films made by "Jacques-Yves Cousteau" and I am going now February 2017.
The way he started this was amazing! I Cried from the beginning to 1:14 . Everytime someone says "before I leave this Earth-" I get emotional. It's so weird! Lol
You love ocean more and treasure the natural beauty after swimming with sea creatures. However, GBR is under threat of pollution and bleaching because of coal mining ports and global warming. https://fightforthereef.org.au/regions-2/ . Good to see you enjoy this trip.
Was there any explanation given for the murky water? Disappointing, when I went some years back the water was crystal clear and many, many more fish – schools in fact and so close! Giant groper, giant clams, It was all absolutely fascinating – the colour was beautiful and I loved hearing the parrot fish gnawing at the coral. Thanks for video and I'm pleased you enjoyed yourself in this part of our great land
Hey Tom great video. I am stationed in Guam and the diving is phenomenal here and not to mention I can hit Cairns round trip for under a grand. I hope to make this dive this summer. Thanks for sharing…sub'd. Check out some of my scuba videos on my channel to see how the diving is out here. Tons of wrecks, reefs and sharks! Happy diving.
Im here in florida i cant wait to explore it more enjoyed the video tom its great to see people still have some sort of interest in the reef i hope you get a chance to venture more underwater life its so amazing a place you can escape to and let the ocean drown your stress best of luck thanks for the share buddy
Good video. I'll actually be getting certified in about 3 months and The Great Barrier Reef is definitely on my list of places to dive. If you haven't already found out what the thing was that you thought was a snail or something, it's called a tunicate. The other thing you thought may have been algae, was a spaghetti worm.
I'm Australian. You guys are watching a video of an American who experienced it.I strongly suggest coming over and see it for yourself whether America, Asian or whatever. It is an incredible reef and is currently in danger of disappearing forever with companies wanting to use it as an oil dumping around. Please visit wwf and sign the petition to save the reef. Thanks guys.
It would be really cool if you found a book titled the Pacific. I live here near the equator and the dive sites are awesome. Laughing at the way he talks about day bcd.
