This last Wednesday I went snorkeling with the students at Julian rocks. I don't have an underwater camera, but a few of the girls I have in my Year 10 class had cameras and were nice enough to give me the photos they took. They lots of photos and I just uploaded everything they gave me (even the blurry ones). I'm still very impressed with the autonomy of the students here, they let Year 8 students snorkel by themselves so long as they had a buddy. I can't imagine students back home being allowed to snorkel quite like the way we did Wednesday, because of all the legal implications of letting kids do that in the ocean.
In this gallery of photos you'll see quite a few different kinds of fish, turtles, leopard sharks, wobbygongs, and some rays. I wish that I had had a camera too because at one point in the same field of view I could see a leopard shark, sea turtle, stingray, and several colorful fish, which was an incredible view. After this trip am now very excited about when Zach and I will travel to Cairns to check out the Great Barrier Reef. The water there is warmer, clearer and full of even more exotic life!
