Monday, 21 April, we decided to go back to the reef again. We had booked another catamaran tour to go to a different island and reef, but at the last minute that particular tour was cancelled, they were going to the places we had visited on Friday, so we opted for Green Island, one of the few inhabited coral islands of the Great Barrier Reef. There were a lot of tours going out to Green Island, and there is actually a resort right on the island. We took a huge catamaran out there (probably held upwards of 150 people), and we discovered that the snorkeling (what we really wanted to do) was not very good at all, that Green Island is mainly for people who just want to spend the day playing in the sand and picnicking on the island. I mean, it was a very nice place, but very touristy (all the signs were in three languages - English, Chinese, and Japanese, as were the announcements on the catamaran).
In hindsight, we should have just gone back and did the same outer reef tour, but you know what they say about hindsight!John was very cooperative in letting me take the following photo in full snorkel gear:
