  1. Hello,
    I was looking on your website and was wondering the best scuba diving trip for myself and my boyfriend. We will be in Cairns at the beginning of February and we are both PADI Open Water Certified Divers with the Deep Diver portion completed as well. We’re wondering what the best scuba dive sites are and what the itineraries look like? We looked into the ribbon reef and cod hole liveaboards but they are a bit too pricey for our budget. Do you offer any 2 day trips or something along those lines? If you could list a few of your best options that’d be awesome. Thank you!
    Chelsea
