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.

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.
