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.

Tripadvisor Reviews
Canberra, Australia
Pro Dive Cairns really came through for me to finish my open water certification. Every single member of staff I interacted with was professional as well as being jovial and fun, from Reservations through to Instructor, Cook, and Skipper. I entered the open water course via referral and was quite anxious due to failing some skills on my first attempt. The instructor Satoshi was an absolute champion and positive to push me through and past the mental barrier. While onboard the liveaboard I could not fault the professionalism, safety, and hospitality of all the Pro Dive staff as well. It's good to see a company work collegiately as a seamless unit. Cannot recommend highly enough and will be back next year for the Minke whales!

Wonderful Experience and fantastic Crew and Dive Masters. Minkie Whale Experience was out of this world. I completed my Advanced open water dive cert and Nitrox Cert on this trip. Flo and Pedro were fantastic! Food was sensational! It definitely was a Eat Sleep Dive Trip! Relaxing and exhilarating all in one! Would highly recommend!

The 5-day learn to dive course teaches you everything you need to know about diving to be safe and have the most fun possible out in the water on GBR. My instructors Kevin and Flo were so kind, patient, and funny which made my experience one I will look back on fondly for the rest of my life :)The culture on the boat was inclusive and the meals were large and tasty. So good after a long day in the water.DO NOT go drinking before getting on the boat. This isn't a rule but it makes you very seasick.
