Hello,
Just recently certified and am taking my first out of country dive in Australia. Will be flying into Cairns in mid-September and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with local operators.
Unfortunately, I will only be in Cairns for 2 days (one will be for decompression) - so a day trip is all I can do. I'm interested in personal experiences with dive operators more so than locations (as I hear those are determined by weather, visibility, etc.). I'd prefer an operator that limits the divers as opposed to the 40 people party boat deal.
Finally, is there anything I need to know or watch out for if I am bringing my own underwater camera rig - please let me know. One thing I'm really struggling with is whether to bring filter (is water Green or Blue??), lights, both or neither for the relatively shallow reef.
Thanks in advance.
