The Great Barrier Reef - Day 4 - Humpback Whale Breaches the Surface

On Friday, even though I had already made 8 dives, I still wanted more, so I went again with Poseidon (by far the best operator of the 3 we used) to the Agincourt Reef. We went to the following 3 sites: Barracuda, Castle and Trigger. This day was great because I saw more fish than the other days. There were several schools of Barracuda at the first site and many Triggerfish at the last site. I also saw a Green Sea Turtle, a Whitetip Reef Shark sleeping on the bottom, some Clownfish (Nemo), a huge Potato Cod (or a type of Grouper, depending on who you ask) named Daisy, and some Lionfish. After the second dive, there was more Whale action. This time, a Humpback jumped completely out of the water and did a twist. I saw a dozen different whales during the course of the day.

This is Daisy, a Potato Cod that hangs around the Castle dive site. She is very comfortable with the boat's photographger and will basically pose for him to take pictures. Here is the Green Sea Turtle we saw at the Castle dive site. Here is the Humpback Whale that visited the boat after lunch.
