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 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. :)

Everything was amazing.

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!

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!

There are so many it is hard to narrow it down. The ship and size was perfect. You do not feel too packed in at all. The cabins and bathrooms are minimal but very clean. You are there to dive so you are barely in both at all. The food was incredibly abundant and delicious. There really isn't anything I would change. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!

THIS WAS AWESOME

This was a fantastic experience. This was my first time doing a live aboard dive trip, and my first time diving without a guide. I was SO nervous beforehand, but there was absolutely no need to be. The diving is pretty easy, not too deep, and they go over exactly where to go before the dive. If you ever have any problems, just pop up to the surface and check where you are. No reason to be nervous at all. The crew was fantastic, food is so good and the amount of diving you get in in 3 days is insane. The value for this was unbelievable and I'd recommend anyone to do this!

Amazing experience!

We explored 2 dive sites that were amazing. The weather prevented the boat from moving earlier but the crew had dive plans in place just in case. This was my first dive trip that we dove without a guide/dive master. I was very nervous but the dive supervisor planned all the dives and gave very detailed intro’s before the dive started. This trip has sharpened my navigation skills tremendously. The dive masters answered questions without judgement and reviewed basic skills before our first dive. The first night dive was guided which helped. This trip was worth the money and the wildlife/reef was unforgettable.

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.

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

Awesome dive trip!

The lovely weather and calm conditions made the diving great. First time with Pro Dive Cairns but will certainly do it again. Very enjoyable trip.

Pleasantly surprised

As a solo female traveler I was delighted to get a cabin to myself, thank you Pro Dive. The Trip Director was lovely, her briefings perfect in terms of length and detail. The only thing I would ask is that they turn the ac down, the dining area was not pleasant to sit in because it was so cold.

An absolutely incredible trip, with amazing staff

The diving was excellent despite fair visibility on some dives(time of year and weather affected). I loved the night dives looking for sharks. The staff were very professional and helpful

Life changing experience!

We were able to dive to our own leisurely time and just had to be back by 50bar. The dive site briefings were extremely helpful and insightful and enjoyable! The crew members went above and beyond to make our experience amazing! They baked me a cake for my birthday! And everyone sang happy birthday to me! The diving is exquisite and the best diving I have done in a very long time!

Should have been guides

Seeing some new wildlife. Unfortunately there were no guides for qualified divers, so focus was on navigation and we could have got a lot lot more out of it if we had been guided by qualified staff, who knew the reefs. Also there were a lot of very shallow dives and no information given to enhance the experience for more advanced divers. Had some nice dives but came away feeling a bit disappointed.
