My wife has to be in Sydney for a couple of days in mid-February, and we're trying to decide whether to add a week on to her trip, have me join her and go diving. Unfortunately this trip just came up in the last week, so I didn't check out any of the dive operators and specials at DEMA in Las Vegas a week ago. The last time we dived in Australia, we were up at Lizard Island and had a very nice time, but it seems like they cyclone that wiped out lots of the area also closed the Lizard Island resort and it won't be reopened by the time we go.
Any recommendations on other good dive spots and operators to consider in mid-February? We've dived the GBR several times, and each time the diving seems less good than the previous times, which is probably due to increased development in the area, coral bleaching and we're more experienced divers. We just spent a week diving in Palau two weeks ago, so that also raised our standards. From what I can tell, mid-February is right in the middle of the monsoon season too
If not GBR, any suggestions for other spots to consider between the west coast USA and Sydney? Thanks in advance
