We just moved to the Gold Coast, Australia two months ago from USA. I have never scuba dived before but getting ready to take classes. Our friends who have dive alot are coming over to visit after Christmas and want us to take them to G.B. Reef. Would it be just as good if we dive from Whitsundays or do we need to go all the way to Cains?? I have no idea about all the dive spots. What would you suggest to go, stay, dive, who to dive with, etc? I will have my three kids with me that will only snorkel so my husband and I will take turns diving with our friends. I will love some real informative info from someone who really knows. I don’t want them to leave without seeing some great beaches and dives. I hope you can help! I would love the info on what resort/dive company we know nothing and you get alot of bad info from travel agencies.

Thanks for your time. Mindy

  Cairns is the go. I live and dive the whitsundays all the time and visibility because of currents is an issue. Cairns you will see what you expect without needing Lady Luck on your side.
  I hope this helps.

    I know this a REALLY old post but I am hoping someone will still see this. I am traveling to AUS in mid November this year and diving the GBR is a must! I am a certified diver. The issue is that I have time restrictions and unfortunately can’t make it all the way up to Cairns, which was my go-to destination. I have to dive from Whitsunday area (or within reasonable driving distance from Proserpine) and only have 2 days. After reading the reviews about poor visibility and diving conditions, I’m nervous to dive in the Whitsundays and not have a great experience. This is a trip of a lifetime for me so I want to have the very best experience possible. I would consider a live aboard if it would be worth it for the $$ as I am trying to budget. Any info would be welcome! I need to book asap THANK YOU!
