Divemaster: Zach, Pro Dive Cairns Boat: MV Scubapro 1, Pro Dive Cairns A very quiet and shallow dive. We explored into the current out towards the breakers and then drifted back with the current. We got back to the area near the boat with plenty of air and time. So we just quietly drifted around or spent time hovering checking something out. It was quite noticeable how most of the other divers nearby seemed to be constantly on the move, finning here, there and everywhere. I experienced a real deja vu moment on this dive. While I was doing my Open Water course back in February, I had a vivid dream where I was just hovering still in the water near a coral outcrop taking in the antics of the fish. And on this dive I had a flash back to this dream while I was doing just that. It was a perfect way to end the eleven dives on the Great Barrier Reef. Mick and I both agreed that a fourth day of diving on the reef would have been about all that could have made this trip even better.
