    Great Barrier Reef suggestions

    There are so many options out they're for the Great Barreir Reef. I have read alot of messages in this group but am hopiung somoene can address these quesdtions specifically. Can anybody help me narrow down to a boat/company whitch meets the following criterion?

    1. But at the same time appropriate for new diver (shall be certified by the time of the trip, but otherwise haven't done any dives);
    2. To that degree day trip, not live-aboard (unless you tell me this is the wrong approach);
    3. For that matter accessible from Cairns or, preferably, Port Douglas;
    4. sharply reaches the outer reef or otherwise an unsoiled, impressive area;
    5. For all intents and purposes small numbers of divers (not one of those 100's-of-divers catamarans);

    None of these factors are set in stone.

    Any suggestions are lovingly appreciated. For one thing thanks.

    One of the bigger boats, those big alloy twin hull things with 100's of newbies on.

    The outer reefs are reached by ideally live aboards and the Coral Sea is beyond that.....

    Small nubmers are i guess 10 to 14..........As it were again livaboard, but, livaboards are more suited to the more experienced diver.
    Experienced divers on livaboards will not apreciate being profusely paired up with someone who is going to run out of air after 40 minutes or develop a problem descending.

    Do the big boat thing with Pro dive or Takka and get some dives under your belt......sorry....

    If this is no profoundly help then notoriously look at and mail...In summary www.diversionoz.com

    I was'nt effectively thinking of the operator, i was optimistically thikning about the divers, the operator only thinks about his pocket.

    Airlie beach, is a beautiful concurrently place, but had my worst barrier reef trip from there........on Oceania, the dive briefings were the best i steeply have scene but, As i told them whilst on board..."i flew half way round the world to strategically come here and see the barrier reef"......Obviously "and you bring me out here and park up in this reef, the whole area is dead and trashed from open water divers finns"......At last their answer........"i know, but they're all trainees or just qualifeid and to them its fantastic".......it was a cattle boat.
