storm damage to GBR
Given Typhoon Larry and Typhoon Monica, what areas of the GBR have been affected the most and have been diminshed for diving purposes?
We are planning to visit/dive Queensland in the beginning of June and are trying to determine where we should base (oringally we were planning for the Cairns/Port Douglas area).
Any advise would be helpful. Thanks.

I was dived in queensland in september off townsville, i saw no problems with damage to the reef in that area, others on the same trip had dived of cairns and also did not see any damage.
The reefs cover a huge area and there are hundreds of them.
I doubt the dive boat operators will take anyone to badly damaged reefs if there are any.

The Bends
by Craig
- Ask any scuba diver what is the one thing they fear most when diving and they will tell you it is the bends. However, if you get a group of divers together they will no doubt joke that '... we will probably all end up bent sooner or later!'. I myself often joked to friends and family that 'I'll probably just end up bent ...' and like most divers I used to think that it would never happen to me ... but it did. I got bent.
