The diving on the great barrier reef is very beautiful. At first we were a bit scared as there was no guide provided, you were expected to go out with your buddy and navigate on your own. After diving a lot in Asia we were used to always having a guide under water.
As it turned out, the dive sites we went to were very easy to navigate and the dive conditions were excellent without drift and currents. The night dive was still a bit scary because the only light is a small hand held flash light.
We got to see lots of fish, coral and turtles. The most amazing experience was when we positioned ourselves under the boat at five meters depth during the night dive and had sharks circling around us.
It is very hard on your body to do so many dives in such a short period of time. At the end it was the pressure in your head and the equalizing of your ears that felt the pain. Diving without a guide made us confident as divers. It is a great feeling to be able to navigate under water on your own.
