Diving in Australia and on the Great Barrier Reef is an experience most divers have dreamed about, but few take the opportunity. |
|
| |
The Australian portion of the reef extending from Lizard Island above Port Douglas down through the Whitsunday Islands offers |
|
| |
some of the most beautiful dive sites in the world. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
How to get there? - If you are departing the United States you have several choices. Qantas, Air New |
|
|
| Zealand and United all fly from California to Sydney and Melbourne. An option may be to stop over in |
|
| Asia, in Hong Kong. For example - Cathay Pacific flies from Los Angeles to Hong Kong. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
When to dive? - With summer almost all year around, you can dive virtually 365 days of the year. |
|
|
| Local divers say the best time is October, November and December, with water temperatures around 29 |
|
| degrees Celsius and visibility between 20 and 30 (up to 50) metres most days. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
Currency - (Exchange Rate) - The Australian dollar (currency code AUD) is the unit of currency in |
|
|
| Australia. Australia’s currency consists of coins of five, 10, 20 and 50 cent and one and two dollar |
|
| denomination; and notes of five, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollar denomination. |
