On the outer reef (osprey reef) the dive master did a shark feeding which was quite spectacular. We were sitting in some kind of a atrium and 5 m in front of us was a box with a swimming device and three frozen tuna heads connected altogether with a chain. The master opened the box, the tuna heads popped out and roundabout 30 sharks tried to grab a piece of it. If you holded your breath you could hear the bones crushing...
On another dive site we did a Cod Fish feeding. A cod is a very big fish, the biggest ones are over 2m long and weight over 500 pounds. The have a very big mouth and really big pieces of food fit into it. The dive master wore kevlar protected gloves to protect his hands.
We had a professional filmer with us, I bought the dvd so i can show you how it looked like.
The last two nights I spent in Cairns, it was so hot there that I slept with aircon on. I hate aircon and always try to avoid using it, but I could sleep, so I had to use it. I was quite exhausted after the trip. We did 14 dives in 3,5 days and had to get up quite early every day.
I rented a car and drove north, the next two nights i will stay in Port Douglas, which is 80km north of Cairns. Today I went to Mossmann Gorge, which is a walk in the tropical rainforest. There is a nice river where I could cool down my body after the rainforest walk. Its very hot and humid here, 36 degrees at midnight and almost 100percent humidity. So my body is wet the whole day.
Something in the river have bitten me, I think this was a blood sucking worm, because the wound was bleeding even after some hours. I asked the locals here and they agreed with me. This worm is not dangerous.
They have very nice beaches here but swimming is only possible with a protective suit, because there are venerous jellyfish here. Its really a shame......
Tomorrow I booked a tour to Cape Tribulation, this is the end of the sealed road here. From there on you would need a four wheel drive car....
