Bit of a toughie but ill give it a go...........
First and foremost is how good do you want the diving to be?
Low Isles is an Island with only a Lighthouse on it ( best job in the world)
Typically Coral around Islands is not as good because it is not in deep water but I rate it as good leisure diving noted for turtle life, soft corals however not a lot of color. Snorkelling is also quite good, I find it far superior to Green and Fitzroy Islands with the Coral starting only 5 metres of the beach. Grass Huts dot the beach line which offer shade and protection for the bub.
Cost is $132 per Snorkeller ( lunch, glass bottom boat, gear provided )
Diver One Dive $112
Bub is Free
OPTION 2
Pontoon with shade, easy access into water, smorgasboard lunch, semi sub tour, underwater observatory, pram access
Beautiful colour as we are now 32 nautical miles off the coast. Big fish, lots of coral.
Cost: $189 snorkeller
As a diver 2 dives with full gear and guides $134 per diver.
Hope this is of use to you, i am not on here as much as I would like to be and always miss messages.
