Hi All!
I am a bit of a planner so I'm already looking ahead to my trip to Australia in June 2016. I had some friends do a liveaboard trip with Mike Ball and they absolutely loved it so I'd like to do the same. My issue is, I can't decide which trip to take. I've nearly read their entire website and I checked the boat schedule to see which trips coincide with my trip, but I still can't decide. I hope the lovely people here on ScubaBoard can help me out. The two I'm trying to decide between are the 7 day Coral Sea trip and the 7 day Minke whale trip. I think the idea of sharing the sea with whales is very exciting, however, I can't get a good idea of how the diving is for the rest of the trip. From what I've read, the best spots on these trips are places like Osprey and others in the Coral sea. I can't really tell if the Minke trip goes out to the coral sea or not. I am sure there is incredible diving in the ribbon reefs and elsewhere, but if the trade off is whales or coral sea, which is the better of two great options? As you can tell, the only thing I know is what I've read, please feel free to correct or add anything to what I've said. I'm just learning about this incredible spot!
Thanks for for the help!
