Which itinerary did you do? We might be in Sydney later this year and were contemplating add-on dive options. One idea was to take another crack at the GBR on SOF or Mike Ball (we did a ribbon reefs/cod hole trip on a different boat some years ago that was just ok overall.) But I’m concerned it might not be worth the bother.
If you're going up to Cairns from Sydney, definitely budget for it. I was surprised at how expensive direct flights can be, even in the shoulder seasons. Accommodation is pretty good value though, Port Douglas has some really comfortable, quality accommodation for great prices Enjoy!
