Tripadvisor Reviews

I've always wanted to learn to scuba dive, but also had a few worries... Before booking, Pro Dive answered all my questions, so I decided to go for it and am so pleased I did. I did the open water PADI course in a small group taught by Flo. She made the theory understandable, took us through all the pool exercises, but most importantly her support when were in the water was outstanding. She is so calm, clear and reassuring, that we all felt safe and grew in confidence throughout. By the end of the qualification I felt confident enough to go off with my buddy on a fun dive, something I never would have thought I'd be doing a few days before! I also loved the Live-aboard, I could definitely get used to the sleep-dive-eat routine. This course opened up a whole new world for me, thank you!

I had a great experience doing the 5-day certification liveaboard experience with two friends. Flo was an amazing instructor, and we felt fully confident to dive on our own after being certified with her. There are many people on a small boat, but overall it did not feel too cramped. The food was nothing special but did the job. I plan to do another liveaboard trip with ProDive later this year.

We did two liveaboard trips with ProDive Cairns, almost back to back, including doing my Open Water Dive Course. Both trips were well organised, the gear was all great, the staff were fun and of course all the dive sites were incredible. Our second trip was the Minke Whale trip and we were lucky enough to spend about 7 hours with the whales, pretty much getting in and out of the water as much as we wanted. For the open water course my instructor, Michael, was super patient and thorough got me from nervous in the swimming pool to even going on to do the Adventure course in the space of 5 days. Even the food was great on both trips. Would highly recommend ProDive Cairns to anyone who wants to see the reef or learn to dive.
