A friend and I are going to Australia at the end of Jan '06 to dive the Reef. I'm only able to stay for two weeks flying in and out of Syndey. As my friend and I have never been to Australia before we don't know the good places to dive. We both have LonelyPlanet guides but they don't really contain any useful info on places to dive out of. Can anybody tell me some good places to dive out of that are close-ish to Sydney or at least a reasonable trip away? We are looking for a liveaboard that isn't too expensive. We're both certified but would need to rent gear (her = everything; me = tank, weights, BC, reg). Basically I'm looking for tips and places that are must-sees but are also within a reasonable distance to Sydney. Flying to a place may be an option since JetStar seems to have some pretty good prices. Anyways, help!!
