Part 6 - Moore Reef

Are ya ready yet?

As mentioned earlier, we enjoyed our first dive on the reef but we figured other areas must be better otherwise they wouldn’t call it the GREAT Barrier Reef! We found the GREAT Barrier Reef on our second trip on the water. Moore Reef was exactly what we were expecting. The Sunlover reef trip proved to be well worth the money. We snorkeled several times, rode in a glass bottom boat, cruised in a semi-sub, observed fish in the underwater theatre, held sea slugs and starfish, and enjoyed a prawn lunch. The boat arrives at a pontoon permanently stationed on the reef where we are given our gear. Then it’s time to jump into the middle of the reef. Unbelievable colours of coral, an array of fish, giant clams that could swallow you, lazy sea cucumbers and a friendly sea turtle! It has to be the most relaxing/entertaining/visual stimulating/beautiful activity we’ve ever enjoyed! We wanna go back already! (Click on the photos to enlarge and get a closer look!)






Faster Charlee, they're catching you!


Glass bottom boat tour over the reef. Charlee and Heidi take to the water like fish.


Hey Dude! (If you've seen Finding Nemo you'd know what I mean!)


Dave and Charlee went in for one last dive to look for Nemo and his dad, Marlin!


No luck finding Nemo and Marlin but we did find Nemo's cousins playing in the anemone!



View from the underwater theatre!


What an awesome adventure!
