Exiting dives around Lady Elliot Island, never saw so many Manta Rays at one spot then here. Just amazing… 🙂 And this is “just” a short subset of all the roughly 40 minutes raw video material. In that sense, take a four minute break, turn your speakers on, lean back, […]
During the past months we heart every now and then about a place called Lady Elliot Island and how beautiful it should be out there, approximately 80 kilometres of the coast, in the middle of the ocean. So we decided we need to go and have a closer look for […]
