Hi, Yes, nitrox was available at extra cost-----as it usually is.
There was no 'guiding'----unless specifically requested, and I think, seperately charged for.
Divers were buddied, and treated like qualified divers.
Dive quals were properly checked.
There were a group of Japanese divers who did want to be guided everywhere, which was catered for.
By and large, the rest of the group dived as independant buddy pairs.
No limit to bottom times, good predive briefings, and strict attention to signing back onto the boat postdive.
The boat was the best I've seen, very comfortable, and a large dive deck. I would certainly dive with them again----probably concentrating on the Coral Sea trips.
Tropical Far North Queensland is a great place-----you won't be able to swim on the beaches when you go though because of the box jelly fish, stay within the stinger nets if you do. Diving on the reefs, they are no problem.
Have a great time, Cheers, Malcolm. |
