How to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef by hypnotix73

"Amazing. I sailed along the GBR for 15 days on a couple liveaboard trips and dove all over the place. Simply incredible."

How I did it: Saved up about $4,000, went there in December (their summer), soaked up the sun, dove, took lots of pictures, and loved life. So great.

I highly recommend taking either Mike Ball or the Spirit of Freedom. I did the SOF and it was amazing. The staff was great, the food was incredible, and the other vacationers that went were very easy to get along with.

I can't wait to go back. I am already thinking about going again. It is just a matter of time now..

Lessons & tips: Do it!

    Hopefully while it's still there 5 months ago

    I love scuba diving and would love to see one of the best places to dive while there is still a lot of diversity and color. Been snorkeling on the second largest reef off of Belize and it was amazing, so I’m looking forward to Australia.

    Its appalling to think this beautiful place may not be around if we keep going the way we are. The coral is bleaching and i want to see it in all its glory! Its been a life long dream that i hope to accomplish soon.

    I think it’s kinda strange that I want to do this because I’ve always been afraid of drowning. Obviously I have to get past that, learn to swim, learn to dive…it’s a whole process.

    It is the best place to scuba in the world, right? Already have my PADI so now all I need to do is travel down under!

    Well, I’ve seen Finding Nemo. Water scares me, so I would also be helping myself get over a phobia.

    I did this when I was 13. The boat ride out to the reef was terrible (it was a rough day, and get seasick easily), but it was well worth it when we got out there – truly stunning

    Diving the Barrier Reef 2 years ago

    Was way cool, got to pet a shark, and introduce many friends to diving for the first time while doing it. Considering getting PADI or SSI certification soon.

    Dive the Great Barrier Reef 2 years ago

    I have dreamed of doing this since I was 10 years old. At 23, I think it’s long overdue! I can only imagine…

    I’ve only snorkeled in key west so far. I’m getting scuba qualified for my high school graduation gift. I’m majoring in marine science and I really wanna travel, so hopefully I’ll get there!
