It is not cheap to learn to dive in Singapore, price varying from the operator to the dive spots you would be diving in, cheapest of course being in local waters. I enjoy diving in Malaysia as it is near as well as reasonably priced. T he most exciting diving trip I have been so far was Down Under in the sunny state of Queensland , where Cairns is. Cairns is so relaxed and full of fun activities that it was truly a relaxed and fun-filled holiday. From diving in the Great Barrier Reef to rainforest exploration to bungee jumping and white water rafting.
S taying in Cairns is surprisingly inexpensive with many hostels lined along the beach.
Many of them will also pick you up from the airport. Check out the directory at the airport and call one. If you don't like it, simply move to another one the next day.
