I have been researching several operators that depart out of Cairns for a 3-day 2-night trip to the outer reef (we are going in March 09). My wife and I are looking for an economical trip and are not necessarly looking for 1st class just a fun trip. I have narrowed it down to three operators and...

where were those taken aussie? I will be diving off a liveaboard from Cairns in March.

As mentioned in another thread I will be traveling to Australia in March. I will probably be driving a RV up the Gold Coast from Sydney to Cairns. I have heard that the Whitsunday Islands would be an excellent stop that has beautiful beaches and water. I was mainly wondering if we should dive or...

Sandman thanks for sharing. Keep them coming... maybe you can find some better diving conditions next time.

rjsip, you have a VERY impressive gallery. How long have you been taking UW photos?

WOW.... after looking around at some of the housings that you guys have mentioned i am pretty blown away at the prices. I mean ikelite is pretty reasonably priced. But the Sea & Sea and Subal cases are in my opinion obscene. I'm sure that most of you are going to say that you get what you pay...

sandman please post some pics as soon as you get them. good discussions... i like when everyone voices their opinion.

Why are both of you guys holding out on Sea&Sea? Do you think they make a better housings?

I have been reading reviews about the Nikon D90 since its release. I have gotten several chances to get my hands on one in a camera shop as well. I am quite impressed. I have been knocking the idea around of purchasing my first DSLR for about a year now. I think the decision has been made and...

After doing some research these two operators appeal to. Ocean Quest Diversion Dive Travel - Products | Liveaboards | Australia | Queensland | Ocean Quest Scubapro Diversion Dive Travel - Products | Liveaboards | Australia | Queensland | ScubaPro Has anyone ever dove with one of these...

I have plans of visiting a friend in Tampa, Fl next month. I never dove in that area of FL (only the panhandle, keys, & springs). My wife & I were wondering what the typical dive conditions were around October? (Visibility mainly)… Are there any natural reefs around the Tampa area or all of them...

do you know of a 2 night 3 day charter that goes to ribbon reef?

Ok, I got it do not tip...... After reading more it seems that the really good trips go to the Coral Sea and the cheaper 2 night trips go to what they call the outer reef. Is the Coral Sea that much better? I think that 3 days of diving will be plenty for us because we want to spend lots of time...

caymaniac, those are some fantastic pics. you must have quite the setup. Do you remember the name of the operator that you used? We are planning on visiting in the middle of march 09

I know that this should never be asked on the scubaboard. But I am reading that lost of the great barrier reef is in shallow water (10-15 feet). If so I am thinking that snorkeling would be a cheap alternative for one day. Of course we will still be diving for a couple.

Thanks for all the good info guys. I am assuming that most of the prices on these au websites are in Australian dollars? Mike Ball look great but is a little out of our price range. Cairns dive centers 2-3 day trips are more along our lines. We have never stayed in a hostel before do you guys...

reefrat have you had a chance to get your XSi wet? i have decided on the nikon d90 for my first dslr. i will am going to purchase towards the end of the year.

My wife and me are planning our first trip to Australia. I am in the process of doing lots of research. We are currently planning on about a 14-day trip and plan to visit: Sydney, Brisbane, & Cairns. Of course we will be diving since I am posting on scubaboard for info. . I understand that the...
