I'm from California, came all the way to Australia to dive at the Great Barrier Reef, and just my luck, Cyclone Ita is set to hit land on Friday. I was supposed to go diving tomorrow and it's been cancelled and the tour company is canceling Saturday and Sunday as well. I could potentially go Monday, but fly out on Tuesday at 6am, so would only be able to do one dive in the morning.
I'm wondering if it's even worth it. Being the cyclone is just north of Cairns about 40 miles, I'm sure the waters will get stirred up and be murky. The diving is NOT cheap here, cuz they take you on a whole day trip since it take 90 mins just to get there by boat. I'm not sure I want to chance $400-500 total (for my wife and I - she just snorkels, but the snorkel trip is $200!) for a sub par trip. Any thoughts?
I remember one time I was in the Virgin Islands (before I had my diving license) and a hurricane had passed a week earlier but the waters were still stirred up and murky so the snorkeling sucked, fortunately that was free cuz i went off the shore.
Anyway, let me know what you all think. Thanks a lot...
