H I was right it was an incredible sight.
A Natural Wonder
When I was asked to visit and write about the Great Barrier Reef, I
was thrilled. I had heard reports of damage done by tourism and other
industries, but felt that the Reef would still be a wonderful place to see.
From the air, the Great Barrier Reef seems huge. I wasn’t
sure how best to explore such a giant place, so after I had landed, I made
enquiries and was told the best way to see the Reef is to take a dive cruise. I
booked a place on a three-day cruise, and, despite warnings about the state
of some of these boats, the boat I was on was comfortable and clean.
I was entitled to eight dives plus use of wet suit, flippers and
other equipment, three meals a day and two nights’ accommodation.
Although I have been diving before, I am not an experienced diver.
I was nervous to begin with, but soon felt completely safe. We
were divided into groups according to our ability and each group was given
an instructor. They had very strict rules .
With our guides, we saw some amazing sea life including small sharks,
crabs and thousands of colourful tropical fish swimming around in the coral.
The other divers were friendly and the evenings on board were very
pleasant.
While I was at the Great Barrier Reef, it became perfectly clear from
the conservation programmes I came across, that the damage I had heard
about had been done. Environmental groups have done much to
stop this damage, but sadly it continues.


Despite this, the Great Barrier Reef is a wonderful place to go. For me
at least it is one of the most significant natural wonders our earth has to
offer.
