Hey Guys. My wife and I are looking to have our honeymoon later on this year and are tossing up whether to hit the Solomons or The GBR.
I'm rather partial to the Solomons (I looove wrecks) and my wife is rather partial for the GBR.
I have always avoided the GBR like the plague because I have heard some nasty stories about the Qld Dive industry. Apparently they set your depth and your time, and buddy dive professionals up with noobie divers and don't let you plan and dive your own dive regardless of your experience and qualifications.
A friend told me before he went to the GBR he emailed around and found a place that told him he could do his own thing but it was a very different story when he got there.
Does anybody have any info on the state of diving on the GBR and if these "dive nazi" stories are true?
Thanks for your help.
