I will be arriving into Australia for about 7 days in Feb. I wouldm't mind visiting a friend in Auckland for a day and dive somewhere with this great USD exchange rate....
I know I don't have much time
I have a few options -
1. Just go again to Cairns and dive on the liveaboard I did 2x already. It was very nice both times and really enjoyed it and recommend it.
2. Go to Whangarei (WRE) and dive Poor Knights Islands. That should be also good for a stopover in Auckland to see a friend.
3. Go to Samoa (APW). Dive there. Not sure where to stay. I'm on a budget but then again I like my 5* accommodations. Looks like diving would run about 350USD for 8 tanks or so.
4. Go to Rarotonga (RAR). Same as #3 plans.
5. Go to Noumea (NOU) Same as #3 plans, but since the cost is in euros, it might be a but more expensive. But there seems to be branded hotels there.....
Any recommendations? I have from 6th to 12th of Feb to get back to Sydney..
