- At 8:00 we drove over to the marina where we got on a boat called Silver Sonic. It took us a hour and a half to get to the first site. Once we got there we put on all the stuff they had given us and jumped in the water. It was amazing! We saw millions of different fish and coral. We also saw these giant clams. Some of them where 3 to 4 feet long! When you got close to them and wiggled your fingers they would close up. It was amazing!! Then we hopped on the boat again and went to the next site. There there was the same thing and just as amazing. We snorkeled for a bit longer and then had a lunch of rice, pasta, and squid. The were little baby squid and looked like someone had surgically removed it’s face. The next site we went to had a bunch of sea cucumbers. A staff member did a little tour for us were we got to hold a sea cucumber and a jellyfish. The sea cucumber was squishy and very slimy. It was like a worm and a tint of a potato. The jellyfish was exactly like jello. Exactly. He also showed us the clams closing and that some coral has lungs that stick out and if you wiggle your fingers close to them they will go back inside themselves. The Great Barrier Reef was so amazing! I want to go back again someday.

The Great Barrier Reef had a million different fish!! I don’t think the clam has a pearl. The clam has two holes in it, one in each side, and it would breathe out of them. They would close and open and it looked so weird because it was a floppy. I like getting these questions. Write some more!! ☺
