I will be traveling with my husband to Brisbane Australia, I will not have access to an automobile. I would like to see the Great Barrier Reef (no scuba diving) but I cannot find a tour that leaves from Brisbane. Can anyone help? Thanks!
We are staying in Cairns and only have one day available for a scuba dive (never done it before!) we have a hire car, is it better to drive up to port douglas than go from cairns?
or somewhere else?
cheers
Could a person who visited Sydney Australia be within any sort of driving distance if they wanted to snorkel/scuba dive the Reef during their trip?
I’m going to Australia in July and I have the option of either snorkeling or scuba diving on the Reef. I’m not certified yet, but if I wanted to scuba dive I could get certified. I’m not too sure about getting certified, considering I would have to pay for the certification and equipment and that is NOT cheap. Though, I want to scuba dive because it’s the Earth’s largest and most beautiful reef in the world.
I’m not sure what to do. Spend a TON of money to get certified and experience what the Reef has to offer or save my money and snorkel?
Has anyone on here snorkeled or scuba dived on the Great Barrier Reef before and would like to share their opinion on their experience? Please include any information for it would make my decision process far easier. Thanks!
