Diving tours in Cairns, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef have you seen this? What a great bit of footage Tourism Queensland has put together. Its so nice to see what life is all about up here in Far North Queensland wrapped up in this little film.

Welcome to beautiful sunny Cairns, Queensland Australia. My name is Clint Carroll and I live in Cairns. Both myself and partner Caroline Auger have travelled backpacking many parts of the world including South East Asia, Canada, USA, Mexico, South America, England, UK, France, Turkey, Greece, Italy and Holland just to name a few. I have decided to set up this website to let people know what its like to live and work here in Cairns. Myself and Caroline Auger are both travel agents at Shop 5 Shields Street, Cairns CBD. We work in the travel industry and we book all the tour options available in and around Cairns and the East Coast of Aussie. We both Scuba Dive extensively and will give you up to date info on our latest dives.

Diving in Cairns is very easy when you get here you will see there are about 50 different companies to choose from. We have been diving here since November 2008 and wow there is allot to see out there. Open water divers have the choice of I think 5 very good companies. Our top 5 favorites would be:

- Silverswift
- Tusa T5
- Silversonic
- Aristocat
- Sunkist CDC

We had one of the best dives of our lives on Silversonic last Saturday the 18th April. Visibility was about 15metres and we dived Barracuda Bommie which had huge schools of Barracuda, small white tip reef sharks, an amazing lion fish, a Wobegon shark and a huge Moray Eel. The boat was very clean and tidy I’d say about 35 people on board. Dive gear was in great condition, we used the larger 12l tanks and actually had one of my longest dives ever at 58 minutes.

We finished the last dive of the day with a fantastic drift dive for about 800 metres spotting 3 green sea turtles and another 3 white tip sharks…….. fantastic.

I thank all the crew on that day and the Outer Reef was at her best showing us allot of what she had to offer.

Until our next scuba dive stay tuned we may go out again this Saturday 25th. ………. happy diving wherever you are.
