firebladebally Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Calling all divers, can anyone recommend a good dive operator to do an advanced open water course at the barrier reef, location does not really matter as i will be traveling so i can basically go anywhere. I would like to do a three day live aboard, i have read reviews on the net for lots of places but the reviews are all really varied, any advice appreciated,cheers :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritChickx Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Cool, on what visa? I'm hoping to go to Sydney - Cairns if I can afford to but if not Brisbane - Cairns. Going to uni next year so will travel the whole country after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladebally Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 we just got a working holiday visa, we have never been to aus before so thought it was the best/cheapest/quickest way to get in there, if we like and want to stay i will apply for the skilled visa. we are basically doing what you want to but in reverse, cairns - sydney/melbourne, depends on funds like yourself, study hard and save hard!!!!!! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Calie Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 My OH is a PADI Diving Instructor, he spent a year traveling in Oz before we met. He said Taka dive out of Cairns were a good bunch of lads and his friend did his PADI open water with Oceania Dive in Airlee beach. Hope this helps.
