Thanks. We live on the beach in Mexico so, beaches are not a big thing for us. Flying almost 20 hours to get to Australia we really hoped to be able to dive the reef. I'm one of those people who like to plan everything way ahead of time, so would prefer not to wait till I'm on the ship to find other divers.You may be cutting it a bit fine but if there is a group from the cruise ship who want to dive and / or visit the reef then the cruise ship might work in around the Quicksilver itinerary. Bot are large tourism operators and should be in touch with one another regarding activities for guests.
If the reef trip doesn’t work out then I can highly recommend a day trip to Port Douglas. A small pretty village north of Yorkeys Knob (half hour by bus) with a lovely long beach and excellent restaurants and gift shops.
