Great barrier reef Snorkling

[lostintheocean]

I took a trip to the GBR for school and got a few good photos. These are from my time there before my class and were taken at Adeline reef off of Mission beach. I had to resize all the pictures in order to upload but I am not sure why they came out so small. They get big when you click on them though.

I saw lots of clams, some of them were at lease 5 feet long....

This staghorn looked like a neon sigh in person, amazing.

There were some good sized colonies that were in bad shape.

These red acros were amazing, like nothing I had ever seen





This fungia was pretty awesome but the pic is lousy.

These lase two are a couple of my favorites.

I am not sure why after clicking on a picture and then going back it takes you to the end of the thread instead of back to where you were, its a pain to look at but I could not get it to work any differently.

Thanks for sharing. Did you do any diving or did you only snorkel?

I did not have the time to get scuba certified before I went so I only snorkled. I was able to dive down to 20 feet or so.... and then my camera broke just before my last day on the water.
