When I arrive into Coffs the sun is shining and its hard to believe this place was flooded just a few days back. The hostel I am staying at, Aussietel Backpackers (great place would highly recommend it), seems to have taken a bit of a hit, it got flooded out and all the carpets in the rooms had to be ripped up...it might not have been the best time to come to Coffs I'm thinking. Luckily enough over the next few days the weather kind of holds up and the dive course goes ahead.
With the open water course we get to do 4 dives around the Solitary Islands just off the coast of Coffs. The Islands are National Marine parks so there is loads of aquatic life and along with this its the point where the warmer currents from the North meet the cooler currents from the South so the mix of aquatic life you get couldn't be any better. Throughout our 4 dives we get to see turtles, grey nurse sharks, sting rays, nemos and no end of other colourful fish, every dive is a new experience! After doing the Open Water course I decide to stay in Coffs a little longer to do the Advanced diving. I've taken a bit of a liking to it.
