Hey all, taking the month of December off to drive from Sydney up to Byron, where I'll be for about 10 days and getting in some dives at Julian Rocks (among other side trips). I'd like to get in some other dives along the way and looking for location + dive shop recommendations.
All I have on my list right now is South West Rocks, so would love other recommendations, maybe stack-ranked in terms of what's "worth it" and what's not. I get cold SO easily and don't have a drysuit, so I can only do so many dives in a row -- currently planning to do the dive day, break day, dive day approach to give my core temp time to warm up between diving Also helps on the wallet!
Roughly my itinerary looks like:
- 5 through 12 December: work my way up the coast - where to stop? Goo
- 12 December - 22 December: Around Byron area / Julian Rocks diving (is there anything else nearby?)
- 22 December - 30 December: Not sure yet -- was originally thinking to do SWR on the way back down the coast in the small hopes the water temp could be slightly higher than it might be in earlier December () although, if the Queensland border opens up, I might pop over and do some stuff in QLD.
What shops/locations you reckon are decent to stop at?
Thanks!
