Comments	I had a layover of two days in Cairns Australia before returning home. On my return trip home on Continental Airlines I was delayed fourteen hours in Cairns, that caused me to arrive home a day later.Continental was very good about providing accommodations and food while being delayed. However,they would not reimburse me for lost salary. I had just spent five days diving in PNG. The water temperature was colder than PNG. I dove with Divers Den aboard the Seaquest. Saw turtles and neat coral formations. Dove with Wally the friendly Maiori Wrasse. There was a group of novice divers and snorkelers aboard the Seaquest. Diving was rather shallow. Max depth was 40 ft, average depth was 20-25 feet. I suppose since the tragedy in Cairns depicted in the film Open Water, boat personnel were very careful about recording the times you entered and returned to the boat from diving. This is an excellent operation for beginner and novice divers. I would not recommend it for experienced divers. The lunch server on board was excellent. There is a video photographer that records your dive. This video can be purchased for $66 AUD. I also visited the Rain Forest. Don't miss it. The views are spectacular. You can go there by railroad or cable car or both(take railroad going, cable car back or vice versa).
