Undersea Explorer
Here's my (draft) write-up of my recent trip to the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea on the Undersea Explorer. This was my 6th trip with them but this time I came down with the 'flu a few days before the trip. This meant I couldn't do as many of the dives as I would have liked.
 Despite being sick, I still had a good time. Note that there are more pictures in the dive logs (Dive details... links).Undersea Explorer - 16 to 22 August 2008 - News - ATJ's Diving Site I hope you enjoy the photographs. |

enjoyed reading your report as I dived many of those sites a few years ago - osprey reef being probably my favourite - once you get out and dive the outer reef and coral it makes you realise just how overdived and damaged much of the GBR is
Super photos thanks |

Very nice photos and good report.
I really liked the idea of the GPS to track the sites etc - something really new for a report.
