GREAT BARRIER REEF 2012 - PART 2

GREAT BARRIER REEF 2012 - Part 2


I'm back from the most amazing dive trip.  The week on Spoilsport went so far beyond what I expected, I'm having trouble grasping the magnificence of it all.

Where to start?  How about a checklist:

  • Comfortable boat with everything a diver could want.
  • Fantastic crew for whom the word 'No' doesn't exist.
  • Awesome bunch of divers from all over the world.
  • Perfect weather.

GREAT BARRIER REEF 2012 - PART 1

GREAT BARRIER REEF 2012 - PART 1


It's happening.  Almost two years in the pipeline and now it's here...  I'm en route, in the air, on the way.  The Great Barrier Reef, here I come!

23 months ago (to the day), I turned 40.  My beautiful wife gave me a piece of paper with a coded message.  Crack the code, discover your present.  I admit, I needed some (big) hints, but eventually worked it out...
