Not a bad option if you can than fly out of Cairns to your ultimate
destination but iff not it is a long return trip to perth for a day or 2
diving.

As I said in a previous post IMHO Nigaloo is better than GBR in many ways.
Having said that the GBR is awesome and I have dived there heaps more than
Nigaloo

I just came back from WA and would thoroughly recommend diving there. Go up
to exmouth and dive the Nigaloo reef and Murion islands. We dived with
Village Dive while up there who seemed to be pretty good. The navy jetty is
meant to be one of the best dives in the world. It is closed at the moment
but if you're lucky it might be open by oct. They do whale shark tours there
but they seemed to be a bit of a con imo. An absolute MUST is snorkeling
Turquoise bay (my friend described it as the best dive he's ever done which
is a big call seeing it's a snorkel . Further down Coral Bay is
definately worth snorkelling. South of perth the Busselton jetty is worth
doing. They have an underwater observatory at the end of the 2k long jetty
so you can look in at the people. Entry to the observatory was $20 but after
diving I'm not sure it is worth doing. The swan wreck is another must imo.
These guys have some good pics http://www.capedive.com/swan.htm but I went
with the dive shed http://www.diveshed.com.au and would happily recommend
them. They will take you inside the wreck if you're an AOW. If you drive up
north try to avoid driving at dusk as there's a BIG risk of hitting wild
animals. If you need in more info let me know.

Michael
