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.

Tripadvisor Reviews
Brisbane, Australia
Went on the 3-day/night liveaboard trip to the Ribbon reefs with a group of members of my dive club. Staff on the trip could not have been better in ensuring a safe and interesting/varied and comfortable trip (as best they could given the 30+ knot winds!!)Very marine-safe organisation. Great and plentiful food. Plenty of space on the dive deck. Equipment provided appeared to be very good quality, for those without own gear.definitely would go again!

Unquestionably, a must-do bucket list activity (with Pro Dive Cairns).Knowledgable team, thoughtful pick ups and drop offs during lessons, and friendly staff all the way. The lessons were hands-on and very informative with everyone's safety in mind. Such a cool experience, you really don't want to take any chances. Five star rated for a reason! Whoop Whoo, Yip Yip! Till next time!Thank you, Pro Dive Cairns!

I've always wanted to learn to scuba dive, but also had a few worries... Before booking, Pro Dive answered all my questions, so I decided to go for it and am so pleased I did. I did the open water PADI course in a small group taught by Flo. She made the theory understandable, took us through all the pool exercises, but most importantly her support when were in the water was outstanding. She is so calm, clear and reassuring, that we all felt safe and grew in confidence throughout. By the end of the qualification I felt confident enough to go off with my buddy on a fun dive, something I never would have thought I'd be doing a few days before! I also loved the Live-aboard, I could definitely get used to the sleep-dive-eat routine. This course opened up a whole new world for me, thank you!
