Snorkeling

Okay, I'll admit it, they scared us into waring a stinger suit. The feared Irukandji made it down to the Whitsundays abundantly while we were there. It hurts like hell and you need morphine as soon as possible, so you will be airlifted out to the nearest hospital.
But after 10 minutes in the water you forget the fear and enjoy the water.
I actually got to see my first Maori Wrasse, a gentle fish that grows up to 2.2 meters. This one is only about 1.5 meters, but big enough to be imposing.
The beaches of one of the islands was made out of 100% coral. Beautiful.
