My inaugural dive with the Nautilus Scuba Club (www.nautilus-scuba.net), out of Cairns with Reef Magic to their Marine World pontoon.
The diving was a mix of brilliant and shambolic, but that's a story for another day.
Dedicated dive club member Judith assured me this is the best lunch on the GBR, and it certainly didn't disappoint, with a tantalising smorgasbord of hot and cold options, from delicious prawns to veggie lasagna, beetroots bursting with goodness and a fantastic fruit salad.
To top it all off a humpback whale breached less than 100m away just as I was finishing dessert!
$180 including snorkeling, submersible tours and fish feeding.
