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
Before the trip, we’ve called to the ProDive and check the trip we booked. They said it is a package of OW and AOW. But after the trip, ProDive charge us for extra money and said that AOW was not included in the package. Furthermore, the ‘AOW’ is not the Advanced Open Water, is Adventure Open Water, which I never heard before. And then they said if we want to get Advanced Open Water, we have to finish another 5 dives, which is impossible for us to finish in this trip. Although the staff on boat is wonderful, but the experience is poor at the end.

Extremely professional organisation, well run 3 days scuba diving on outer reef. Great staff, food and equipment. We both did the Open Water certification and I felt well supported, especially as the weather wasn’t great and water was very choppy. Would highly recommend and would do the trip again.

We’ve just been dropped off from a 3-day liveaboard trip and could not be happier. The crew was beautiful — incredibly aware and buttoned up, but also friendly and fun. Safety was clearly always paramount. Food was delicious, beautiful, and plentiful, with lots of salads to complement the mains. We slept so well. The dives were as gorgeous and lush as we’d hoped, and appropriate for our newly certified sim, as well as experienced divers. The vibe on the boat comes from the top, and it’s a great one. Thank you Leighton, Matthieu, Roberto, Flo, Joseph, and off course, the bacon master, Marius!
