We've established that Sept and Oct are too cold still. Not sure how warm early Nov will be but we'll check into it. Did I summarize the timeframes you can go ok?

Also, is the Great Barrier Reef ever an option for the (far) future??

It's looking more and more like we'll be doing T&C for Labor Day again so I hope to confirm that soon.
As for the great barrier reef...its been so over dove and the best boat option has 24 people on it which is a LOT of people. The next option has 36. So if we get to that part of the world again it will most likely be PNG which is still unspoiled and NOT over dove. People can then do a Aussie trip in conjunction with that trip if they like... but for now Australia is not on our radar anytime soon. We are just happy we were able to dive it a few years ago and even then the pollution based algae was getting bad.

My experience has been that the reefs of the Caribbean & South Pacific are far superior to anywhere I went in Australia & that was in 1986!!!
To date, FIJI has by far been my favorite place to dive. I could sense the planet respirating while diving those coral heads. It was the determining factor in me deciding to FINALLY get my instructor rating after almost 30 years of diving. Unfortunately, it won't work for me in 2013, as I'm already planning on doing 3 other SD trips next year. All Caribbean. And I cannot wait!!! NYE will be here before we know it. Hey, Kamala. Just an idea...any chance of bringing in the New Year under water?

I am not comfortable doing repetitive dives under 78 degrees. Heck I'm not really comfortable doing them under 80 degrees UNLESS we are talking about Galapagos and that is the best you can get. But when a place is known for delightful water temps...its hard to go there when the water is cold... i.e. 74-76.

I've done a week on a liveaboard where the water temps were 77-78 for a week; I've also done repetitve diving in Maui where the water temp was 74-75; I did all this diving in wetsuits, though I admit it would be easier in at least a tropical drysuit; when I did the liveaboard, I used lavacore under my 3mm and was quite toasty all week
but again, 2013 is shaping up to be quite busy for me, so if Fiji doesn't happen in 2013 it's not the end of the world

Fiji could be doable in Nov and its even been suggested as a week after xmas option. The more input we get the better...

Count me out for Fiji...had to turn vacation in for next year already so if the dates are moved, I may not be able to make it. Our last trip to Fiji was the end of October (halloween costumes in Fiji) and water temperature was fine. Most places in Fiji do not have air conditioner so if you want WARM, surface temperature will be pretty unbearable and too hot to sleep. September is an ideal time for me work wise for vacation...and the same thing happened with the trip to Australia...
Perhaps better planning next time.
Yes end of Oct was great when we went the first time. So when did you put in for vacation in Sept? And where else would you want to dive besides Fiji?
