Bucket list trip of a lifetime
I loved all of dives, but as a novice diver with no navigation experience, I wish they offered a dive master with every dive that we could follow. June was terrific not only as a cook but also as a a dive leader on several occasions. Great team on board!

Safe and Organized!
By far one of the best Liveaboards I have done. The safety of the crew and watchfulness was wonderful. Anything that was needed that you forgot was available to purchase or use for free. Food was wonderful, very tasty but for little kids might be a bit above their level of taste. (No chicken nuggets or peanut butter sandwiches here!) Great diving spots with good information. When we did night dives, someone always led them, although you could go with just your buddy if you wanted or were comfortable. Saw lots of wonderful fish and turtles and even a few sharks!

The crew helped me plan out my proposal to my (now) fiance. They really went above and beyond everything I expected. Ben, our chef for the trip, did an amazing job with every meal. Never felt hungry and always had some great food to eat. James, our dive supervisor, was really a fantastic person. He laid out every dive during our briefings and was very knowledgeable, funny, and patient with everything. He also genuinely seemed to care about us and the reef. Pro Dive Cairns is the best and I will return!

Great experience but would've been better with a friend or option for guided dives.
This was an incredible trip! My only issue was that one of the crew members wasn't particularly friendly and made some of us feel like we were a burden. Not exactly the best environment to build confidence and learn how to be a better diver... The rest of the crew was AWESOME (shout out to Elena, Shawn, John the captain, Ben and John the advanced instructor). While I'm certified, I didn't feel ready to dive without a guide and was initially paired up with someone else who was just as nervous as me. Thankfully, two experienced divers offered to be my buddies and showed me the ropes (and the reefs). If there's no option to dive with a guide, I think dive buddies should be paired up based on skill level (beginner with someone a little more advanced). Other than that, no complaints! Food was delicious and the overall experience was incredible. Would definitely do it again and will bring a buddy along next time. :)

Precision Operation, Average Dive Sites
Provide pick-up and drop-off services. Food average in quality and quantity. Dive sites average. Diving without dive guide and the need to rely on bearing of compass can be challenging - took away lots of fun when one worries about navigation underwater all the time. Overall good trip to experience how a Liveaboard can be for new divers. The short duration make good break when in Cairns. Value for money as it is not too expensive

Amazing trip, great value!
This was amazing! Usually diving trips for a 2-tank day dive are ~$250 per person but for about $600 per person (USD), we had 11 dives, all our gear, housing and unlimited food. The value was incredible and the experience of diving the Great Barrier Reef for 3 days was truly unforgettable. Pro Dive Cairns also made it very easy as they picked us up and dropped us off before and after the dive trip. At the end we all celebrated at a restaurant/bar. We made new friends, saw wonderful reefs, and made great memories. Highly recommend!

Great crew!
The early morning dive with lots of fish. However a lot needs to be done in terms of the way this is organised. A large number of people and some cabins that are roomy and some cabins that are TINY. I got a tiny cabin, the same size as the cabin the staff member next to us had. We were sharing but she had her own cabin. Also, a lot of people on the liveaboard had not dived without a guide before and none of the dives had any guide- even the night dive! I have dived in a number of places around the world and they all have guides. A lot of people were actually taking lessons and I am very hesitant to think about how one instructor can teach so many people at once. They definitely need more crew on board - maybe they can take 3 more crew members and give them the tiny cabin they gave us. Would not recommend in spite of the lovely staff. This liveaboard is not about the GBR experience is it about making money.

Good food. Good diving. Great Experience.
I think this is the most finely tuned diving operation we've ever been on. Mark was engaging, informative and overall a pro when it came to dive briefings. The equipment was all great, even the wetsuits which often are suspect when it comes to rentals were all in good condition. The food was great and always in abundance. The diving was varied and it was also plentiful. There were two night dives, a sunrise dive and heaps of interesting things to see along the way. I do want to emphasize the efficiency of how this dive trip operated. We could tell that they have been doing this for a long time, never sacrificing comforts or convenience for the expedited schedule of diving and logistics. Hands down worth every penny. Our only regret is that we did not do the longer package which takes you out to different and perhaps better quality reef systems. Don't think about it. If you want to dive the GBR this is the way to go.

Good for beginners. Experienced divers may look somewhere else.
Very well managed: they do the same trip every three days. Relaxed atmosphere. Easy dives: no current, relatively shallow. The last 2 could be drawbacks. The dives did not present any challenge. They were up to 20m deep (mostly 15m). The dives were mostly self-guided as the guides were busy with people taking courses. Therefore divers had to rely on their own navigation skills and knowledge. No frills bunk beds accommodation, rather small sun deck. Easy and affordable.

Really great crew and awesome dives
The ScubaPro team is very professional and great scuba guides. I always felt looked after and safe. The dives were excellent and the pre-dive briefings were a highlight. The boat itself is not luxurious but it is very clean and well maintained. Perfect for a 2-4 nights when you goals is great diving and not a floating spa.

Fair value trip
I had a great time with ScubaPro I. Crew and people on board were all great and friendly. Food was delicious and dessert was served all three days throughout. There was a variety of different experience levels, all the way from beginners getting certified to an ex-rescue diver who dove about 500 times. I was able to pair up with comparable diving buddies. I'd definitely come back to ProDive Cairns (for other reefs though)!

The guests and crew were fun, young, and high energy.
I had a fun turtle encounter when he nipped my hair, I met good dive buddies, and I liked the playful personalities of the crew.

We left feeling disappointed.
I'm sad to say that as of right now when I look back I don't have a highlight reel running through my head. My husband and I were both disappointed in the diving for a number of reasons. I will say the boat was older but clean, the staff was super nice yet completely unresponsive. It reminded me of being in Mexico where you ask a question and they shake their head "yes" but never do anything. The food was much better than I expected and that cook worked her butt off. I find it interesting there is no room for recommendations or negative feedback on this survey. Overall, it was a great value if our dives had been decent. I personally would rather spend 5x more for a better experience as this was possibly the only time I will dive the reef. I'm sad that equipment issues weren't addresses causing missed opportunities for great dives. Also, we had no idea that 75% of the guests on board were getting certified. That was annoying and took a lot away from the experience.

You get what you pay for
Accomadation - very basic bunks & no wardrobes to hang your clothes Pre dive briefing - drawn on a white board Meals - very good however only one choice of main meal Gear - standard rental stuff most divers got blister off the fins ( take your own ) Dives - spectacular coral reefs , although night dives were limited to only 30 mins Guides - friendly & helpful although many different certifications on board & people taking courses seemed a bit chaotic at times Overall I did enjoy my trip the diving is spectacular however the onboard experience wasn't upto scratch the boat was dated and basic the air con in the cabins wasn't very good & I had to sleep in the dining room toe escape the oven that I was in
