Snorkeling again at the Great Barrier Reef, FNQ

I managed to get a few shots of the fish that surrounded us during another snorkeling trip to the reef, although I’m not really sure how I did it.

Just as I remember it!!!

You were very lucky to be able to go snorkeling there repeatedly. You were also very lucky to experience the Great Barrier Reef before Climate Change started to kill off some of the coral. If this was the 80's, I would guess you probably used a disposable, one-time-use camera. That's what I did back then for under water photos. But whatever you used; this is a great shot of a wonderful memory.

Back in the day there were disposable, one use cameras and some could be used underwater. Maybe you used one to get this super photo.
