What's the best way to find an independant instructor in the Cairns/Port Douglas area?
I'm going to be down there the first week of October, and am fresh out of my Scuba certification. I suck down air at an exceptional rate and have buoyancy skills that could use some improvement, so I was considering hiring an instructor to buddy with on dives to work on skills while exploring the GBR. I'm travelling alone, and I know I wouldn't want to be stuck with me an an instabuddy.
I was considering the PADI Peak Performance Buoyance class, although it doesn't seem most places offer that outside of a full AOW class.
I'm open to other suggestions and advice as well, including about who to dive with. Haven't decided where I'm staying yet (likely either Cairns or Port Douglas), only have the flights arranged so far.
