Reef Eco Tour with Andy

This was one of the best days of my holiday. Andy picked just two of us up and took us to Florence Beach, picking up wet suits on the way. We sat on the beach where he told us about the reef and the plants and animal life we might see. We then donned all our gear, and in my case a life vest, and backed into the sea.











We spent an hour and a half exploring the reef off the beach. Calm clear water and the sun shining down, this was much more as I had imagined it would be.
We were privileged to see a turtle which swam right up under me. It was so exciting.









Walking back up the beach the gear had suddenly become very heavy and I was wilting by the time we got back to the truck. But it was well worth staying an extra day on the island. What an unforgettable experience.
