Hi Guys
I'm the lucky Brit that is being posted to Aus for 6 Months (to start with) from the end of February, based in Perth.
So first on my list of items to pack is (of course) my Dive gear and the (work) clothes will just have to make up the rest of my luggage allowance..
However, while out in Aus, I get to celebrate my *cough* 40th *cough* Birthday during June, so aware that this is mid winter for you guys, where is good for a gal to go diving to celebrate (if anywhere) at that point?
I would prefer it not be be around Perth area, for no other reason than I am hoping to get some regular diving in from there anyway.
About my dive experience, I have just over 350 logged dives, I completed my Divemaster course, but not with a view to working as a DM, just so that I understand more about the sport I love/risks and personal awareness underwater.
Dived in high currents, gentle drift dives, night dives (I love) and although I like seeing new "big stuff", doing a slow leisurely dive looking for Macro, even if you don't "cover" a huge area of reef during the dive is probably more my thing (although a mix is good).
So based on all that, do you have any recommendations for where to dive at the end of June, oh and I won't have a diving buddy to take with me, so somewhere that can help supply a diving Buddy/DM guide style person is a must.
I have the whole of the week booked off, so liveaboards/shore dives etc are all options.
Oh and I know I need to learn to be more succinct, but based on all that any suggestions from those in the know?
p.s. likely water temp would be good to know as I think I need to get a new wet suit while out there (3mm long currently as most diving has been in 25 - 30 C waters)
