Approaching Airlie Beach
The ship's "Magic Carpet" allowed the trimaran to dock alongside making embarkation very easy
The crew gave safety, snorkeling and scuba diving instructions on the way to the platform
Looking back to Airlie Beach from the platform over the reef
We have arrived at the reef
	This glass bottom boat provided an underwater view of the sea life and coral
	There was less light for taking pictures in the deeper water
This was explained in a display on the platform's underwater observation deck
The glass bottom boat cruised near where people snorkeled
It was a smooth trip back to our ship
