Well what a day vis was on our side and well all I can say is have a look at the photos  October & November are some of my favourite times of the year to dive on the Great Barrier Reef here in Cairns. The water temp is now sitting at just over 25 degrees C and well the wind drops down to like 5 knots !!!! Just so nice to be out there !

Diving on Hastings Reef Cairns Australia.

So as promised here is some footage from Tuesday just gone what an unreal day !! One of the most amazing encounters with a little Hawksbill Sea Turtle. Coral Gardens is a dive site located on Flynn reef and has a fantastic drop off wall that goes to about 24 metres! With a bit of current on the move you have fantastic fish life with Moray Eels and large Coral Trout and Mackerel. Check out the footage I was able to get of this little fellow looking for lunch.

So last Friday I was lucky enough to go for a wee 10 min flight around Cairns in a Robinson R44 what a fantastic aircraft so manoeuvrable allot of fun! The weather was nice and warm with a cool sea breeze.

I wish everybody a super Merry X-mass I hope everybody is with family & friends. Thank you to everybody from all over the world for all of your emails I try to get back to every single one of you! I hope Greenbuddy inspires you to come back to Cairns or to even make your first visit to Cairns and The Great Barrier Reef. Take Care! Clint

Well here is my latest little film from a recent dive on Flynn Reef from Cairns on The Great Barrier Reef. This little girl was a little scared at first but she came round and decided i was not a threat and took off for a free swim over to the next bommie.

Today we visited the Turtle Rehabilitation Centre in Cairns Australia, the first time I have been so close to these amazing animals.

The Team at the center gave us the opportunity to take some photos and video and I thought we should share it here with you.

Turtles are hurt in the wild by ghost fishing nets, pollution, hunting from various groups and they also suffer generic disorders where air can get locked under there shells and they float on the surface and cant dive. The Turtle Rehabilitation Center in Cairns Australia helps these injured turtles back to health to then release them back into the wild.
