The Mystery of the Great Barrier Reef

Deep sea, located two and a half hours of the northern coast of Cairns, Australia is the Great Barrier Reef. Existing as the world’s largest and most diverse coral reef system the Great Barrier Reef is one of the natural wonders of the world. I was lucky enough to get to visit and snorkel this massive ecosystem.
