Day 3 & 4 Australia

On days 3 & 4 we went to scuba dive at the Great Barrier Reef. We just couldn't get enough the first day so we had to come back. We had the same 'tour guide' showing us around the reef. It was soooo amazing and beautiful! We made sure to bring our underwater cameras so we could take a million pictures.
Our 'tour guide' told us some cool facts about the Great Barrier Reef:
The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from space because it is soo BIG. It's the world's biggest group of reefs. The Great Barrier Reef is made up of more than 2,900 reefs and 900 islands. Its over 2,600km long and is 344,400 square km. In 1981 the Great Barrier Reef was named a World Heritage Site because of its diversity. There are tons of animals that call the reef home and over 400 different kinds of coral can be found there.
