Dive Guides on Barrier Reef liveaboards and other GBR questions

[DORSETBOY]

Found it unusual myself not to have dive guides on most of the dives, suited me admittedl as you get more space to yourself but I did worry that if you were less experienced you could get lost.. that said the maps they drew for the briefs were bloody good!

We were on that boat last October, and every dive had at least one guide, and usually two or three (for only six paying divers). I thought that they did a great job almost all the time, both watching out for the divers and pointing out interesting things. I don't know where you've dived, but I imagine that GBR in general, and Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea, would compare favorably to most places -- it certainly is better than Cozumel in terms of both coral and marine life, and I am very fond of that spot.

Did the Diversety in the Coral see and even thou we did-not want a DM with us we were told thats how they did it. Once we were on the GBR Diving on small reef's they let us dive with our buddys
