I came to Cairns to get myself a Open Water Divers license. After checking with Clint on the possibilities, I’ve decided to go to Reef Encounter, because you can complete the theory at home on your mobile phone and then do the practice out in the worlds biggest swimming pool – right in the great barrier reef!
I’ve booked a 3 day/2 night learn-to-dive liveaboard tour, and it was just amazing. We started with the easy to learn basics and after 3 days I had my SSI Open Water Diver! We‘ve been around on many different sites, so every few hours you got something new to see.
Inbetween we had freshly prepared food, which was amazing to restore your power!
The crew on “Reefy” was amazing. Thank you all, you made the trip unforgettable. In fact the trip was so great, that I’ve scrapped my original travel plans and came back for another 2 days!
I can recommend everyone to check out this tour and do your licence here, but keep in mind, that the whole course is done in 3 days, so there won’t be much time to relax. You might just add a few nights right after your OWD to enjoy the beauties of the great barrier reef!
