Diving In Oz

[Clifty]

Gday

I posted some questions on here a while back, when i was first looking into going diving, back when i was in thailand....

and the information and help i recieved was very appreciated... many thanks to those who took the time to provide me with their recommendations.

However, i require i services of those same people, or anyone else, who could inform me of any good dive schools and dive sites, along the east coast that i should go to.

Since taking the plunge, i absolutely love diving now, and i cant wait to get back into the water and do my Rescue and EFR course. And who knows, i will probably end up completing my divemasters course soon enough!

I am currently in sydney, and will be doing the east coast, stopping off at several locations, and i would love to hear other peoples recommendations on where i should stop off for some good fun dives and to continue my training - i will end up in Cairns, and plan do a few fun dives whilst i am there, so any dive schools in cairns would be great to hear of them too!!

Well, many thanks for all your help and im so glad i started diving!!!

Start here:

Abyss

Sydney Dive Academy
http://www.sydneydive.com.au/component/option,com_events/Itemid,62/

Both have active clubs that dive every weekend and often offer night dives during the week.

There are also a few dive boats if you can plan a week or two ahead. You can PM me for a dive. I live in north Sydney.

i agree with Fishy on the above 2.

frogdive also has a strong club & dive schedule

further north, ive only heard good things about SunDive up at Byron http://www.sundive.com.au/

I suggest Byron for a day or two, then hit the Gold Coast and dive Cook Island just south of Tweed, do some shore dives on the Goldie then hit Straddie and then head North. Last I heard the Brisbane was really coming together.
Highly recommend these guys out of Bundy for a few days liveaboard that is excellent value, service, safety and diving - www.divemusgrave.com.au
If you are on the Coast - www.devoceandive.com
Have fun
Cheers
