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.

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
Melbourne, Australia
Fantastic and well organised trip. I was doing my Advanced Open Water and Nitrox course (good combination!), and the diving and dive sites were great. Plenty of yummy food, and the crew looked after us really well. Particular shout out to Caleb as the AOW instructor - educative and in control without micro-managing - and Kevin as supervisor, who was equal parts entertaining and informative.

One of the most amazing experiences of my life, loved it! BUT was so far out of my comfort zone I don't know how I completed the Open Water Diver Accreditation (not real keen on 'certification'! But, again, the Pro Dive team were so professional, supportive & knowledgable that I felt safe & secure even though I was feeling like 'I can't do this!' The only issue I have is I thnk Pro Dive do get their 'pound of flesh' from the young employees they have - they are enthusiastic young people who are often international travellers wanting to do what they love & are ? maybe taken advantage of because of their situation - I hope that doesn't happen so much in Oz anymore. Also the Aussies who are the backbone of the company may need to be appreciated more as you (Pro Dive) have some amazing employees! Particularly Sean (? Sp) who is a legend & held my hand on my first night dive.

Very good experience! All the staff was very professional and dedicated. They were always willing to help. They were also very friendly and open to share their cool diving memoirs!The dive spots were also very nice, we spotted stingrays (blue spotted), clownfish, turtles, sharks, and heard a whale underwater! There were also other cool animals like a wide range of corals.The food was superb, very very healthy and tasty. There’s all types of food so everybody is satisfied. The chef, Marinus, cooked really well. My sister and I are lactose intolerant and he took this very seriously and made sure we always had something tasty to eat. You’ll find yourself always diving, sleeping or eating! The only thing I missed is having the option to get a longer wetsuit, I normally freeze underwater. I definitely recommend this liveaboard, I would do it again without any hesitation.Thank u guys for such an amazing experience.
