A little about diving Cairns & the Great Barrier Reef
We can give you information about diving the reef and can offer you the services of the best dive charter operators on
the reef,
whether they be day trip vessels or liveaboards - where you stay overnight on the reef.
Cairns, which is recognised as the "jump
off point" to the reef has an International Airport and you can fly into it from almost anywhere in the world as well as
depart to anywhere. If you intend diving out from Cairns where there are the most options for your trip to the reef,
then flying directly into and out of Cairns makes good sense as you will save time by doing so. All airports in Australia
have links to Cairns as well so if you have already booked your flights, don't panic, you will still get there. If you
are looking for internal flights, check
out the following: "Virgin Blue" &
"Flight Centre"
For already certified divers and for snorkelers, the links on this web site take you to recommended dive companies
for live-aboards and day trips. For those who want to learn to dive, do a
referral, or to up-grade their current certification while on holiday, those same links take you to dive
shops that teach diving and are geared to accommodate holiday
Things forgotten or overlooked prior to arrival at that long-dreamed-of vacation destination can run the gamut,
from minor nuisance to major disappointment. To help eliminate even the minor nuisance, here are a few things to be
considered when planning and packing for a scuba diving holiday to Australia:
Tips for dive trips
One thing you must bring with you when you come to Australia scuba diving is your "C" card
(certification verification) and your "Log Book". If you have lost your "C" card, contact us and we will give you the
details of
organisations to contact for a replacement.
A final introductory word: Australia is a very BIG country. It takes time to move
from one city to another -- time, which if not allowed for, can turn a long dreamed of holiday into a 5 o'clock rush hour
nightmare. Careful planning is critical if you are to enjoy your stay --- and the diving --- in Australia....and
we're here to help you! Catchya later!
