Great Barrier Disappointment

We signed up for an expensive four day scuba certification course that included 2days/1night on a nice overnight boat on the Great Barrier Reef. We were not only supposed to be fully Open Water certified after the course, but were also supposed to get a fun dive (the whole point of going out to the reef). We spent the entire time doing certification because the instructor aborted two dives due to incompetence. Dania still has to do one more dive to get Open Water certified. We might as well have been in NYC’s East river. Also, the bathroom in our room was absolutely rank. I complained and received a free day of diving certificate good in Cairns, Australia. Good for us only - through Feb 2008. This, after we told the guy we were leaving the country the next day and not planning to come back anytime soon. Thanks Deep Sea Divers Den. Thanks a lot.
