Diver's Notes

Rocky's Rock (Bommie)
Great Barrier Reef, Norman Reef, Australia
Dove from boat: Oceanquest
Objective: around and over bommie

A bommie is a coral/rock pinnacle. The took us off the large boat in a small "tender" and we did a backwards roll into the water. Told us we could go anywhere and they would pick us up after we surfaced. Very relaxing way to dive.

BEST. DIVE. EVER.

The coral formations at this site, which they said is not dived often, were amazing. Could make you religious. Lots of table coral, feather stars, staghorn coral. innumerable kinds of coral. Lots of fish, but no "significant creatures". More pink clownfish. Coral was so delicate looking and beautiful.

Made Hawaii look like crap diving.

A few big clams (1 foot wide).

After surfacing the tender picked us up and they pulled us out of the water, Dan the Englishman says of the Japanese divers "good thing they are small".
