we had a glimpse in the small tank full of peer animals ... eg. sea dragon, sea star (11 legged) , crab shell , etc ... then the Guide brief us about the animals ... :P .. then ... they made us jump off the peer which is at least 3m high ... at first we were all so scared of doing so .. we held hands .. and on the count of 3 ... we jumped off the peer into the sea... and off i went ... the first gulp of ocean water of Australia filled my mouth ... ew... so SALTY mann ... :@ ... we swam back 2 the shore 2 put on our equipments ... and snorkelled around the peer. ... my buddy , jeshri .. screamed and screamed whenever she felt there was a sea weed tangling her ... every1 was shocked at first ..but the 2nd time she screamed .. we knew what was happening ... :P ... i saw a sea dragon .. some fishes .. and some echinoderms ... really fun ... but i dramk a few gulps of sea water as well .. :( ... so salty ... yuckz ... we snorkelled around for about 30 minutes ... we had 2 get out when grace , my class mate was having soem breathing prooblem ..* i was so scared~~!!!!! * .. we brought her back 2 shore n headed off 4 lunch ... when we got up .. it was so cold !!! ... i was shivering all the time~! ...
