Yesterday I fulfilled a dream that I’ve had for quite some time now…to learn to scuba dive. Okay, so I’m not qualified or anything, but this was my first taster session and I loved it…PADI course anyone?
On my last full day in Cairns I finally did one of the things I’ve always dreamt about (it’s even on my bucket list)…scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef!
