Australia
I took a group to Australia to dive the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea in September 2002. We lived on Mike Ball's SpoilSport, which is a fabulous boat. I took lots of pictures. I am including here only the best of them, but I've only just gotten started scanning them in. Keep watching for more.
