RE: Snorkeling with and endangered species - the Hawksbill sea turtle at the great barrier Reef.

Wow, amazing! I still haven't been out to the GBR, but it's always out of our budget when we are in Qld. Besides, I hate joining the masses.... and worry I'd be too sad. I've see turtles off the Gili islands though. So cool

It was pretty special to swim with these hawksbill turtles!

Yeah it's not cheap to visit the GBR but we are in Brisbane so it's only a 4 hour drive to Harvey bay then a 30 min flight out to Lady Elliott island the most southern part of the GBR.

Lady Elliott island is breath taking! There is nothing to be sad about seeing the reef here! There is hardly anyone on the island and the reef is full of life!
So many turtles as its nesting season ATM.
Most of these photos are in the shallow water that is full of the broken coral from the tides.

It's always a good day when you see a turtle
