I just returned from a diving vacation in Australia and the diving
was incredible. Visibility was 100 plus and the water temperature
around 80 degrees. I went on a 10 day trip on a 55 foot yaht. Since
the best diving we did was on reefs in the Northern Coral Sea I
recommend a minimum of 8 days since it takes a day to get out and
another day to get back.
I saved around $1800 by booking with a local (not advertized
nationally) outfit as compared to the Dive Australia and Sea & Sea
dive packages that are easier to get information on. I highly
recommend the Boat I went on which was built and run by:
