Tripadvisor Reviews
Exeter, UK
We went on the 3-day liveaboard trip. What can I say, the trip of a lifetime! Not only is the Great Barrier Reef everything that you hope it is, but the scale of the operation run by Pro Dive Cairns is impressive. Everything is very well thought-out, from the meals (Scott was fantastic cook!) to the briefings at every site (Kevin was very knowledgeable while at the same time transmitting the right amount of friendliness to make you comfortable to ask anything at anytime). The whole crew (including Rafa, Christie, Satoshi, and Caleb) was great, and you can tell they work very hard at all times to make the whole trip possible. A huge thanks to all. We also loved the flexibility of being able to choose between guided and self-guided (always with a buddy!) dives at each one of our 11 dives. We did a bit of both, as each has its advantages. We take the best memories from this trip. If you are lucky like us, you will also leave the trip with friendships that we hope last a lifetime.

Spent 3 days on a boat diving like there was no tomorrow! The crew (Kevin, Big D, Caleb, Lisa, Sam, Marinos and The Captain) were always helpful, fun and instructive. Would definitely recommend for experienced divers, for those who wish to learn how to dive or just for the fun of diving.

My partner and I booked the 4 day 3 night live aboard hoping to see Minke whales in late June 2022. Unfortunately we weren't able to go up to Ribbon Reefs as the wind and swell were too rough that was a little disappointing at first.Instead we went to Flynn and Milln reefs about 35miles east of Cairns and the dive spots were great! I was so pleasantly surprised at how comfortable I felt on the boat and the food was amazing.The crew worked their absolute backsides off to make sure we had everything we needed. Big shoutout to Jordan, Pedro, Leo, Caro, Martin and Tim. There was 24 divers on the boat and they got to know each of us, kept the boat clean and offered plenty of help with diving of course.Thanks guys for making my partner and my first live aboard experience such a great one! I would definetely go on another live aboard with this company again.
