Hey everyone, Today was a bittersweet day. It is our last day on Heron Island and boy was it great. We started off the day with a morning snorkel and it was breathtaking as always. The water was slightly murky, but it did not take away from the vibrant colors of the fish. We did, however, almost get hit by a dive boat. It was weird because they weren’t supposed to be in the channel till 8am and this swim was around 6:30. After we headed back to shore, we got ready for the day and had breakfast. After breakfast we got ready for an outer reef dive. Today we went to Wistari reef which is one reef over from Heron reef where we have been staying. It was much colder today than the other days but it was still amazing. The vibrancy of the reef is something that I will take with me.
I looked down and saw a smaller white tip shark taking a nap on the sea floor. He was so cute! I dove down to get a closer look at him and his beauty. Then we got on the boat and headed Inland for morning tea.
After that terrifying swim with potential death, we headed into land for the day and cleaned up. A group of us headed out to the pier to watch the sunset. We took in our last sunset on heron island and commemorated the moment with a few pictures before heading back for dinner.
And with that I sign off for the last time here on Heron Island
Taylor out!
