SHARK !



We did see sharks on our snorkelling trip to find the manta rays - apparently 'sleeping' but such a distinctive shape that my heart sped up a couple of beats a minute anyway.
Next time I checked it had gone and our guide was flippering off into the distance, muttering about the "mummy shark" wondering where she was!
Although we didn't find the giant manta rays, I did discover a sting ray the next day on the reef - I was more mindful of its tail though.
Did you know that Fiji has the world's third longest barrier reefs, called the Great Sea Reef, it is home to whales and dolphins, sharks and turtles and giant clams which can grow to over one metre across!
Greg managed to spot a turtle when he was completing his diving course and Jess took loads of pictures with her underwater camera..
