During Spring break, my study abroad program took us to Cairns. We partook in a wide range of activities, one being snorkeling. I have never snorkeled before, nor have I ever been far into the ocean like we were (coming from a landlocked state, this is understandable). The waters looked peaceful, but that was quite deceiving. Once we put on our gear and jumped into the water, the current was very strong. I am not a strong swimmer, so swimming against the current was very exhausting. This did not deter me from enjoying the beautiful reef. I saw the most breathtaking views ever, and the odd part was that it was all under water. Large fish swimming around the coral right under me, I could not help but feel as though the whole experience was very surreal.
Found Nemo!
Some lady friends and me about to snorkel.
Putting on wet suits are a lot more difficult then you would imagine...
So happy to be in a wet suit.
Just hanging out :)
What lies under water.
SHARK!
