Hi everyone,
I am planning a trip to Brisbane in September and would like to dive some of the GBR while I'm there. I've been looking at liveaboards that go out from Cairns, but I'm really battling to find useful reviews and advice about them.
It seems like Cairns is a good place to depart from, but I'm open to ideas. I'm on a tight budget so it doesn't look like I'll be able to go on one of the really nice ones like Mike Ball Expeditions. From what I've read, it's better to choose one that only allows certified divers, and less passengers.
I'd like to do a 2 or 3 night trip, and quieter places would be preferred (I hate crowds). I've been looking at these:
-Ocean Quest (Deep Sea Divers Den)
-Cairns Dive Centre
-Pro Dive Cairns
-Coral Sea Dreaming (which looks amazing, but pricey)
Does anyone have experience with any of these? Or can you recommend another liveaboard in that area? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I have very little information about GBR and researching it has been a bit overwhelming. Any starting point would be helpful.
Thank you!
