I like to be, Under the sea....

On Saturday Ben and I went diving in Morton Bay, unfortunately we did not see any Grey nurse sharks as we were hoping as the water was too warm (about 23 degrees) but we did see a few wobbegong sharks. But it was a absolutely perfect day. The water was like glass, so smooth and the sun was shinning bright. The dives were great, we dived a site called Shark Alley which is at Flat Rock which is an excellent dive sight. We had a very friendly turtle join us for our second dive and he just seemed to want to hang around us for the afternoon which was really amazing. We saw a great big lobster, which I really would have loved to take home for dinner, but since it is illegal I thought I would leave it there. We saw some coral bandit shrimp which we have never seen in the wild before (only ever in Bens marine tank) and stingrays.. Of course there was lots of fish, coral and anemones, I even saw Nemo and a few of his family and friends....I just can't wait till I get back down there again..
