Ten Reasons to see the Great Barrier Reef:
1. It's one of the Seven Great Wonders of the World...for a good reason!
2. It's in danger, so who knows how long it will be around. (Note: Ignore that obituary for the GBR that came out a couple months ago. It makes marine biologists cringe.)
3. It's amazing.
4. It's the largest living organism in the world.
5. Finding Nemo.
6. Snorkeling is a blast!
7. You don't have to be a good swimmer to do it.
8. You get to swim among the fishes!
9. If you rent an underwater camera, you can take photos like these!
10. IT'S THE GREAT BARRIER REEF, OKAY?
