This is the shirt that wins in the category of 'went the farthest to get it'. I got this shirt in Cairns, Australia after going on a snorkeling cruise with Jodi to the Great Barrier Reef with an outfit called TUSA Dive. We were in Cairns for a weekend in July and wanted to pick a good calm day to take the two hour cruise out to the reef. When the organizer at TUSA said that the wind and waves would probably calm down by September or October we decided not to wait and set up a cruise for the next day. It was windy and wavy (Jodi did not like the boat ride) but I thought it was awesome. We saw lots of cool marine life including a giant clam but no sharks -- Paddy the dive instructor later informed us that you never see the Australian sharks anyway because they always sneak up on you from behind.
