Swimming with Minke Whales of the Outer Great Barrier Reef

I am so fascinated and taking notes on what types of dives I’d love to take part in when we take our trip to the Great Barrier Reef…

…And diving with Minke Whales is near the top of that list!

I found this video of Tim & Sharon’s diving adventure in July of 2007! Thanks for the video:

My skin is crawling with excitement…I have goosebumps and flutters in my tummy!

This is what attracts me to a vacation spot…What animals can I see? What kind of adventure can I have?

I’m going to have to get an underwater video camera for sure!
