Great Barrier Reef

March 12th, 2006

For my birthday we shot out on a boat a few miles out from Cairns to the Great Barrier Reef – it was our first times diving but after the initial “I’m breathing normally under the blooody water” feeling was overcome, it was all ok! There was allsorts of beautiful stuff down there, but I was in such awe of it all it’s hard to recount it now. Overall, an absolutely fantastic day :)

Me and Nemo (he’s at the bottom!) chilling under the sea:

Han and me with our pet sea cucumber. I think his name was Rollo from when I introduced myself, but under the sea it could have been mumbled a bit.

    Wow looks wikked, better than a night in crabbies.

    Not sure i would have picked up that rollo thing.

  2. The Wog Says:

    What’s that big horrible thing with Hannah and Rollo?

  3. Dave Says:

    I dunno, when you’re in that kind of environment (for me anyway) picking up some slimy sea monster is the least of your worries.

    I like the way you all adopted his name – I didn’t really converse with it as it didn’t speak English.

  4. Joffers Says:

    looks ace.

    looks like you’ve painted your nails a nice shade of lilac too.

    very commendable

  5. Dave Says:

    Lilac?

    It’s called “Violent Violet” for your information, and it means I’m a bad ass diving mother fucker.

  6. Chris Says:

    i dont like it, you look dead under the water, its freaky shit.

    it’s weird how rollo isnt ugly and weird under the sea. Place him on the pavement and people would freak.

  7. Dave Says:

    Yeah it’d look like a big spiky turd. The colours are odd, yeah? I’m tanned but the water makes me look corpse-like.

  8. Hannah Says:

    Yeah, i def look really shit in goggles and 15m under the surface of the deep.

    its not a look i’ll be repeating for nights out, job interviews etc etc.

    Dave told me he found it quite fetching! I think he caught his reflection in the wet suit tho, im not sure!

  10. Dave Says:

    I thought the all-in-one lycra look suited me. I might start wearing it everyday.

    *adjusts self*

  11. Hannah Says:

    I don’t think that Dave and I had ever fancied each other more.

    Dave went for the wetsuit with the cropped sleeves and shorts-type affair. I had to physically restrain myself from jumping his bones.

    I, on the other hand went for the all-in-one catsuit affair in thin lycra (the boys needed full wetsuits in case they got cold – pussies). It clung to my every contour (of which i have ample), i think Dave salivated a lot.

  12. Dave Says:

    I looked like this:

  13. Lee Says:

    thats just you generally! hehehe!!

  14. Trelly Says:

    looks like rob after 2 beers

  15. Munkeh Says:

    If Col got jaundice he’d look like homer simpson.

  16. Hannah Says:

    so what you’re saying is that Dave, Rob and Col all look like Homer Simpson.

    However do you tell them apart on a night out Trel?

  17. Lee Says:

    I never can!
