Dive Review of
Sea Quest (Dive Down Under) in
Australia

Philippines, West Palm Beach, Fl, Gloucester, MA

Dive Conditions

Must surface with 500 PSI  

The Reefs, Norman and Hastings Reef were vibrant and full of life.  Sea
Quest Captain picked out seaward healthy reefs.  Because of my esperience
level I was paired up with a member of the boat crew who simply followed my
lead.    

Overall Rating

Diving on day boats from Cairns can be a very restricing experience.  The
boat operations tend to over controll concentrating on getting to the reef
(two hours away) quickly, getting the dives done and getting back quickly. 
As a result the dives are done in a very controlled manner, often on the
less vibrant landward side of the reefs where divers can more easily be
watched and closely supervised.   Sea Quest was a welcome change from that
routine.  We went as far out as possible to very healthy reefs, Norman and
Hastings Reefs which had  very active Dive spots.  The crew was very
accomodating, particularly compared to the poor TUSA operation that I
experienced the day before.  

The Great Barrier Reef has much to offer, giant clams, an abundance of
corals and a tremendous variety of fish living off the corals.  Maximum
underwater time in a vibrant location is what an expereinced diver should
expect and the Sea Quest operation does its best to meet those
expectations.
