#1 Scuba dive off Australia's Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the wonders of the world. I was reading about it on the National Geographic website and apparently it's made up of more that 2,800 separate coral reefs making it the largest in the world! The clear, shallow, and coastal waters are home to many interesting species besides coral including bottle nose dolphins, titan trigger fish, anemone fish, coral trout, cuddle fish, and many more. I would love to go on a cruise that includes scuba diving! The only scary part is that visitors are warned about the dangers of poisonous stone fish, poisonous cone shell, poisonous sea snakes, and stinging jellyfish. I still want to do it.
