Scuba Diving On The Great Barrier Reef? I'm going to Australia in July and I have the option of either snorkeling or scuba diving on the Reef. I'm not certified yet, but if I wanted to scuba dive I could get certified. I'm not too sure about getting certified, considering I would have to pay for the certification and equipment and that is NOT cheap. Though, I want to scuba dive because it's the Earth's largest and most beautiful reef in the world. I'm not sure what to do. Spend a TON of money to get certified and experience what the Reef has to offer or save my money and snorkel? Has anyone on here snorkeled or scuba dived on the Great Barrier Reef before and would like to share their opinion on their experience? Please include any information for it would make my decision process far easier. Thanks! :)

How to choose a good scuba school? I am looking to learn scuba diving but have no idea what to look for in a school. Every place seems to offer the same classes, same certs and roughly the same prices. Do any of the seasoned pro's here know what to look for when going for training? If it's any consolation I am hoping to get the generic basic open water diver then get into wreck and cavern exploration primarily. All the other courses seem quite interesting also and will probably be pursued throughout my life. Also I'm consciously not putting where I am to prevent advertisements in the form of advice. I am just looking for information on what consists of a good diving instructor / school.

Ocean exploration (SCUBA) jobs and degrees required? I'm a first year college student and am undecided in my major right now. However, I've recently decided that I don't want a regular desk nine to five job; it's just not me. I like to do unique things and adventure. I also love scuba diving! So, I was wondering: are there jobs out there that involve undersea exploration, SCUBA diving to find rare plants and animals, mapping the ocean, or recovering lost artifacts? I know about marine biology and archaeology, but I don't really want to be in a lab; I want to be in the action (which is a relative term- I find underwater to be quite peaceful!) Any new information you guys could offer me would be great, and if you know of the degrees required for the jobs, even better! Thanks!
