Day 70 - Ningaloo Reef - swimming with turtles

Kate:  My new favourite animal is the turtle.  Can't believe we just swam with them and we were able to be so close. We just stepped off the beach, swam out to the place they call the turtle hole - and there they were.  To use Jasper's words - totally awesome.

Jasper: today we went to a part of the Reaf called the turtle hole were there are lots of turtles. When we got there we actually saw a turtle and swam with it for about 15 minutes. Watching it feed and come and take breaths right next to my head. On the way back we saw a huge black tip reef shark which got me really excited. We also almost drowned following Steves instructions to swim against the current. Sometimes he should listen to me, the kid who knows nature better!!!!!!!!!!!
