Airlie Beach Outer Reef

After shopping around the town for a trip to the outer reef that included some diving, we went for one that took us out to a moored raft. This was pretty posh and very, very expensive. Although the trip was good, the value for money wasn't all that flash and there's better diving in Cairns. Next time I would probably wait 'till then. Anyhoo, there pics...

Shute Harbour and the Calypso (presumably a reference to Jacques Cousteau's boat) awaits.
Went out past a resort that put some mermaids on the rocks.
That's the view over the pointy end.
Kim chills out at the blunt end.
As do I.
That's the destination, a raft (semi-?)permanently moored on the reef. It's got a restaurant / bar, underwater viewing gallery, submarine (well, sort of - really a glass-bottom boat) and snorkelling gear all included.
That's what the submarine shows you. Can't wait to get properly wet.
