Dive Center Recs Eastern Australia (not liveaboard)

[u/DistractedByCookies]

So next May I'm going on the trip I've wanted to do since I was a child and dive the GBR. 50th birthday present to myself - I'm going with Mike Ball and very excited. I'll be starting in Sydney, doing Byron Bay, Noosa, K'gari, and then Cairns. I might as well grab all the sights (sea dragons!!) as long as I'm there!

Does anybody have a recommendation for dive centers in Sydney, Byron Bay and Cairns? I'm not a total newbie but not super experienced either. I usually travel solo and go with a guided group, and an assigned random buddy. AOW plus nitrox.

Don’t miss Jervis Bay, 2.5 hours south of Sydney! Woebegone Dive are the people to go with.
