Must have this life changing experience! Above and beyond my expectations ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My friends and I did a 4 days e-learning open water course with 3 days 2 nights liveaboard. All the crews, instructors, divemasters were super professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Food was delicious, hot shower was fantastic. Special shout-out to our instructor Flo who made our learn to dive experience so enjoyable, she took good care of all students from the pool to the ocean and made sure we all grasped the skills required for diving. We are now certified adventure divers and are confident to apply what we’ve learned to dive in the future. It was a very pleasant and memorable experience, will definitely book dive trips again in the future with Pro dive! 100% recommended!!

The experience of a lifetime

Booked the Open water/Adventure dive course. Spent 2 days in the dive centre learning in the pool and completing theory. Spent 3 days 2 nights on the reef. What an experience. Mike was our instructor in the pool and on our first five dives on the reef including 1 night dive. Excellent knowledge of diving and a brilliant instructor throughout. Calm, cool and collected. Reassured my gf when she was slightly panicking during a mask exercise. Calmed her down and she completed the task. Our other instructor was Kevin. Kevin completed the theory with us in the class room and instructed us on our last couple of dives which were a deep dive and an underwater navigational dive. Like Mike, he was relaxed and full of knowledge but also the funniest man on the reef. Had the entire boat laughing from start to finish. A great character. The staff on board were also fantastic. Marine made us delicious food at regular intervals to keep us full of energy for our action filled days. Special mention also to Matty, Courtney, Caro and Chris. Extremely nice people and provided a great atmosphere to learn to dive. Will 100% be back to dive again with Pro dive Cairns. An experience of a lifetime. Thank you and all the best, Cathal and Elaine.

Awesome liveaboard dive trip

We hadn't done a liveaboard trip for a few years, so were really excited for our adveture with Pro Dive Cairns to dive the GBR just before leaving Australia to return to our home country. We were not disappointed! The boat (Scubapro III) was well laid out with enough space and facilities for the 24 divers plus instructors/dive masters & crew. The food was tasty and plentiful, prepared by the young, cheerful cook Casper and there was always something warm to eat after each dive. As for the dives themselves, it was very wet on the surface (we were there during the heavy rains in May) so on the first day the light was a bit gloomy at depth, but it was still a delight to to dive Milln Reef and see how much marine life there was. The sun came out on Day 2 when we were diving Flynn Reef which was perfect so we could see the beautiful coral gardens. One thing that surprised us was that we were told, as certified divers, we were pretty much on our own to navigate the dive sites as there weren't enough dive masters to lead us. As we've recently been used to being lead on dives it was slightly unnerving, however in the end it was actually great as it forced us to refresh our navigation skills and the dive sites were carefully selected for easier diving so no worries at all! We always managed to navigate back to the boat :-)) The entire crew did a great job, and were very strict with security protocols, to ensure that everyone was onboard after each dive site. We felt secure and well looked after at all times. We highly recommend diving with Pro Dive Cairns!
