The Keys VS. Great Barrier Reef

[ferg822]

I'm working on a project for school that has to due with where I will live in the future. I have been set to the FL Keys, probably Key Largo, and somewhere near the coast of Queensland, Australia. I will want to do marine biology as a job.

PROS:

Keys:

Still in the U.S.
Not as much of a plane fare home

AU:

Well, its on every divers dream, the GBF
Different

CONS:

Keys:

Not as magnificent wildlife as the GBR (but can't complain)

AU:

Big plane fare
Far from home
Dangers on the GBR

As sad as it is I am upsessed with these places but have never been to them (except snorkling in Largo when I was five but I can't remember anything except Key West which I loved).
