Silverswift Dive and snorkel from Cairns

Departing daily from Cairns, Silverswift is a luxury 29-metre catamaran designed with everything you need to experience an underwater world of colourful marine life in safety and comfort. This trip visits three different sites on The Outer Barrier Reef, allowing certified divers to experience up to 3 dives in a day. Introductory diving is also available onboard for those interested in trying a dive for the very first time.

Adventurous snorkellers can explore spectacular coral formations and underwater gardens awash with vibrantly coloured marine creatures.

Locations vary with the conditions, however, each site is chosen for visual impact, ecological diversity, and the challenge of discovery. Onboard, your crew will encourage you to relax and enjoy the comfort of Silverswift with its bar facilities, fresh water showers, air conditioning and a delicious lunch for hungry adventurers.

Morning and afternoon tea is provided and the spacious deck areas are ideal for sharing a cold drink and tales of your adventure.


Please Note: some medical conditions may prevent you diving and you will be required to complete a waiver and medical statement prior to the trip. If you have recently/continue to suffer from an illness or condition that may affect your dive fitness,  or are currently taking any prescription medication, you will need to consult a doctor for a 'fit to dive' medical certificate.

The trip of a lifetime

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.
