I am in Australia for two weeks for a friends wedding. i am spending one week in Sydney and planned to do an open water in another part of Oz to take in more of the country. Where is the best place to complete the course in Jan 2010, i will also be travelling alone so looking for a lively town with hostels. Any help would be appreciated as i have never been to Oz or dived.

Cairns is your best bet. Lots of hostels and nightlife etc, and a mutitude of diving. No better place to learn to dive than the Barrier Reef - warm water, amazing dive sites. Try 'prodive' or 'Mike BAll'. I used them and they were both excellent. Make sure you visit the Daintree and Cape Tribulation. Cairns is pretty hot and humid in January, and can be stormy, but diving the Reef is truly fantastic.

I was also considering to get a OW with Prodive, but heard that the reef in there is not as colorful. any opinion on that? what do you guys think of getting one in town 1770 ( ie southern GBF)? would that be any better?
