The Great Barrier Reef - Day 2 - Watching Humpback Whales

On Tuesday, we moved from Kewarra in Cains to Thala Beach Resort outside Port Douglas. On Wednesday, Ben, Peter, and I went SCUBA diving with Aristocat, a dive company out of Port Douglas. We traveled to the Agincourt Reef section of the Great Barrier Reef and did 3 dives from 3 different dites, Nobodies, Totem, and Gone Again. Erin was our Diving guide. We saw some nice Whitetip Reef Sharks, Eagle Rays, and other fish. During the first dive, we heard a lot of Whale Sounds, but never actually saw one. It was pretty neat hearing Whales while in the water. On the way back to Port Douglas, we actually spotted a couple of Humpback Whales. They were swimming just alongside the boat.
