Pictures can’t do it justice…but this was one of the most incredible things we’ve ever seen. There was an endless parade of millions of brightly-coloured fish spinning around the vivid coral. It was like an aquatic acid trip.
We took a bus from Cairns up to Port Douglas, from where we took the “Aristocat” out for a couple dives. The suits we’re wearing aren’t for the water temp (it was like a warm bath) – these “stinger suits” are to protect against the Irukandji jellyfish, though nobody could recall any serious (much less deadly) stings since 2002. The photos are here and the videos are here
