Beautiful day on the water

Today we're diving with a charter 1770 undersea adventures, all organised by Emma. Their ship the Narcosis hasn't been out for quite a while as tourism in Australia has taken a hit. Our friend Don is working in Gladstone and only very intermediately goes out the reef. Emmanuelle has been nagging and pleading Don to go out and he agreed. The incredible thing is that the Day is superb. Don tells me that I have a great wife being able to pick such a great day 3 months out.
But our luck doesn't end there. The mantas are here and they are hungry. The full moon was just 3 days ago, so there is a lot of coral spawn in the water... Something that the Mantas eat. They come really close. Not only that, but we see a lot of pelagic fish, big sharks, large schools of fish, Eagle rays, sting rays everything. After the first dive Emmanuelle and I decide not to dive a second time as the snorkelling is as good as it gets.
