How To Choose A Liveaboard on The Great Barrier Reef in Australia

Are you scratching your head trying to figure out how to choose a liveaboard on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia? This video is for you!

Watch the video above by Clint Carroll from Cairns Dive Adventures, as he explains what the top 3 things to think about while you are planning a liveaboard dive trip on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

What are the top three things to think about when choosing?

In the video above we explain how to choose a trip based on your diving abilities, if you don’t have time to watch the video see the three options below:

  1. Are you a newly certified diver?

    For example, perhaps you only have 10, 15 or maybe 20 dives under your belt? How do find the best trip for you? If this sounds like you then we recommend diving at Norman, Saxon and Hastings Reefs!Diving with a Sea Turtle

  2. Are you an intermediate diver?

    Perhaps you have 40, 60, 80 dives under your belt, maybe you have your advanced dive certification or at least you know how to navigate by yourself and explore the reef in your own buddy pairs without a dive guide. Then you should look at diving on Flynn, Miln, and Pellow reef systems from Cairns.Scuba Diver on a Coral Sea Wall

  3. Are you an advanced diver with allot of experieince?

    If you have a lot of experience, perhaps you have dived in some of the many famous dive locations around the world like Papua New Guinea, Raja Ampat Indonesia, Philippines and Borneo. You should look at doing the extended 5-day and 7-day ribbon reefs and osprey reef liveaboards. If you have the time you could also join a far northern dive expedition to the tip of Australia!Giant Potato Cod
