Tripadvisor Reviews
An amazing diving experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 day 2 night live aboard. If you looking to do this trip, ask to be put on a trip with Kevin who is the dive guide. He is hilarious and made the trip that much more enjoyable. Big D is also an awesome instructor for our advanced course. This was our first time diving unguided and we felt confident because of the thorough briefings. 2 of the toilets were blocked on our boat which made the entire boat smell real bad (this happened prior to us boarding the boat) so check that this is fixed before making your booking! Also the trip out to the sites in July is rough due to winds, make sure to take sea sick tablets.

My wife and I really enjoyed our minke whale liveaboard trip. Our dive master Matthieu was excellent and made sure we well looked after. We were only recently certified open water PADI divers with limited experience and Matthieu made sure we were comfortable and confident in scuba diving on the reef day and night dives despite crazy winds and waves. About half way through we felt confident enough to go on our own and enjoy the wonderful outer reef. Overall, great experience on the liveaboard. The minke whales were elusive but the reef encounter and night dives we're stunning and highly memorable. Also, special thanks to the prodive crew for keeping us safe despite the inclement weather and allowing us to safely dive as much as possible. We thank God for the safe and stunning trip in His beautiful creation. Highly recommended!

Pro Dive Cairns really came through for me to finish my open water certification. Every single member of staff I interacted with was professional as well as being jovial and fun, from Reservations through to Instructor, Cook, and Skipper. I entered the open water course via referral and was quite anxious due to failing some skills on my first attempt. The instructor Satoshi was an absolute champion and positive to push me through and past the mental barrier. While onboard the liveaboard I could not fault the professionalism, safety, and hospitality of all the Pro Dive staff as well. It's good to see a company work collegiately as a seamless unit. Cannot recommend highly enough and will be back next year for the Minke whales!
