You can tell a holiday is approaching. This place is gone off with tender fruit stuck in lawn furniture and lemon squeezing! I can't keep up with you people.

A trip to Oz? Yes, a must do along with New Zealand and I have never been to either. I am an avid scuba diver but the GBR is cause for some caution. I worry more about tiny paralyzing box jellies you can't see than large sharks and eels you can see.

Tweeze if you are serious about getting scuba certified I know a guy. He works out of Ventura and I got my Advanced cert. with him. He often schedules dive trips in exotic locations and can get you certified either locally or in a warm water destination trip.
