I was in Cairns for a few days with Nikki.  Last time I went to Cairns I didn’t see much other than the pubs & clubs, but this time Nikki actually wanted to do stuff during the daytime, so we signed up to scuba dive, and then skydive.

Whilst Scuba diving, I got this photo of a shark which swam within about 12 feet of us,

Then whilst skydiving, my parachute failed to open properly.

True story

Damo (the professional parachutist with me) had to fix it as we fell.  You can see in the video below that once the parachute opens, for about 5 seconds he forgets about videoing me and gives his full attention to getting the parachute working properly again!  Then says “we’re alive!”.  Brilliant!
