Diving

We're living it up on the East coast. We just booked a dive tour - we'll spend 3 days and 2 nights on a boat doing 11 dives. We're pretty excited. We paid a lot for it, but it's a once in a lifetime chance, right? Diving on the Great Barrier Reef! We don't do the trip until next weekend, so that leaves us time to go a bit farther north to see the beaches (and paragliding sites) there.
Brian successfully completed his dive course on Magnetic Island. While he was doing his course, I spent my days snorkelling, tanning/burning on the beaches, and reading in a hammock. Tough life! It was a nice little vacation. Now we're back on budget, especially after spending 600$ on this dive tour.
We've realized we don't have as much time as we thought to see everything on the East coast. I predict though, that the beaches will start looking the same, and we'll be able to skip a few places as we get closer to Sydney.
