It's a Mermaids Life....

On our way up to the Sunshine Coast

to visit my relatives for xmas

we stopped over in Byron Bay.

Whilst there i saw a leaflet for swimming with turtles...

oh boy oh boy was i excited!!!!

I talked about it for days on end until my husband

realised that we were not going to make it back

to Sydney without a swim.

The Byron Bay Dive centre who we did the swim with

were great.

Even though of course they told us they couldnt guarantee turtle spotting

as they are wild animals, it was only seconds after

jumping off the boat that we spotted our turtles.

Tim wanted to swim around and explore the reef a bit,

but i would have been happy with just watching the turtles the whole hour!!!

All the pictures with me turned out pretty crappy,

mainly because of my lung i'm not meant to dive down.

In fact my diving career is over...

but we got some pretty cool shots of tim!
