Hi Guys,
My wife and I will be able to make a last minute xmas/new year trip to Australia and we plan to spend 5 nights in Cairns so I can dive the GBR for the first time. She is a non diver and gets sea sick so we won't be doing a live aboard.
I would like to get your recommendation for day trip operators. Can the day trips reach the outer reefs? Are there any good dives also on inner reefs, or even shore dives?
Also, would be good to get suggestions for other things to do around Cairns besides diving. I know there are some rainforest and other tours, but it's hard to tell if it's a tourist trap from looking at their websites.
Thanks so much for helping.
