Thanks for the replies and the web sites which are very informative,
would it be better to hire a car and drive up to Exmouth (is there
any good dive spots on the way) or is it better to fly up from Perth?

I'd fly. It's a a lot of sand and not a lot else really. There is some
diving out of Carnavon, but it's apparently not as good as further north
from what some locals said.

Monkey Mia might be worth a look. It's got huge potential but last time I
was there, there were no dive shops, though I think that's changed
relatively recently. But if there's no diving going on there, I'd give it
a miss. Very overhyped and very average TBH.

Hi Jason
Thanks for the info, I spent an hour reading your trip reports on your
web pages which we very informative. I will probably fly to
Exmouth and book my diving prior to arrival. I will definitely
do a livaboard somewhere on the Barrier reef. I was interested
in reading your reports on the Maldives as my last trip there was
over 12 years ago. I also enjoyed my week on Kuredu.
If you ever see Ian Smith give him my regards as I spent a
week diving with him at Sodwana about five years ago.
