Hi everyone,
I and my boyfriend and are newly certified PADI open water. We will be in Port Douglas in January 2018 and look for recommendations. We are interested in a small group dives and/or a private tour (just for 2 of us), not deep, but enjoyable dive (up to 65 feet/20 meters). We would like dive guide/instructor to be with us during all the dive because we are newly PADI certified and do not feel comfortable yet to go underwater without a supervision.
In addition, we will very appreciate the information about the area. I checked online and, to be honest, I am very confused. People are talking about different reefs and different boats with 50 to 450 people on board. How crowded are the boats and dive sites? Is it one big reef or several reefs that calls GBR in general?
Any other activities are recommended in Port Douglas? I've read that a helicopter 30-minute tour above the GBR is nice and rainforest day trip is popular as well.
All recommendations will be highly appreciated.
