Photo highlights: Diving the Great Barrier Reef

Early last week, I posted a video sneak peek of my adventures diving the Great Barrier Reef. In this post, I share my very best and favorite photos taken with my Olympus Stylus TG-3 camera (waterproof up to 15m). It’s the camera I used for the video and it’s the same one I’ve been using since I started my travels over a year ago.

I love this camera because it tells me how deep I am and warns me when I’m getting to its depth limit. As a result, I was able to take photos worry-free on nearly all 11 dives I did while living on board the ScubaPro III.

Video montage: Diving the Great Barrier Reef

There’s less to say and more to see when it comes to the Great Barrier Reef.

I’ve already fully reviewed the liveaboard experience with ProDiveCairns, the company that took me on this exciting, 3-day expedition. That’s why I’ve decided to now show you, rather than tell you, about this underwater wonderland.

This week, I’ll be sharing all of the visuals I captured while diving the outer reef—starting with this video montage I put together. It’s a peek at my adventures under the sea. Enjoy!

The Great Barrier Reef 3-day liveaboard experience

The entire reason I decided to visit Australia was to dive the Great Barrier Reef. I researched tons of day trip and multi-day options for experiencing the GBR. I finally decided on a 3-day liveaboard trip with ProDiveCairns leaving from Cairns in Queensland. The price tag, number of dives, and opportunity to go to the less-damaged outer reef convinced me it was the best option.

Did it turn out to be the best? Well, I cannot compare it to any other trips as it’s the only one I did. But I can say the trip receives my highest recommendation. In this post, I describe my experience and include all of the details you may want to know if you were ever interested in booking a similar trip!
