ScubaPro I Liveaboard, Australia

It was a great trip with nice staffs and dive sites.

I get to see many different types of corals. There are also sharks that swim around the boat at night which I get to go in and see up close during night dives.

Great opportunity to dive the Great Barrier Reef

Seeing a moray eel and several rays after just saying I wanted to see them. Be aware, though, that these are self - navigating dives, which means your focus is not always on the marine life and environment.

The best 3 things were the food, the variety of marine life and the efficiency of the crew.

Top tour,great dives, very good brifing, top guids !!

A friendly and amazing experience for my First GBR visit.

The dynamism of the crew and the friendly atmosphere on board were greatly appreciated. The food was excellent, which is not so easy to get on a liveaborad. We had very nice dives at Flynn's reef and enjoyed the warm water even if the visibility was rather poor. It is a perfect experience while sharing with 31 other divers coming from everywhere on the planet..

Great Barrier Reef: Eat, Sleep, Dive

Highlights were completing AOW certification with Kazu, seeing lots of reef sharks and turtles, and spotting some humpback whales. Really great crew and instructors who accommodated everyone's needs. It's a no frills trip: Eat, sleep, and Dive That being said, it's an amazing value. I'd definitely do another trip with ScubaPro Cairns.

The best way to see the Great Barrier Reef for advanced or beginners!

Definitely the night dives and the chance to get up close and personal with sharks.

The enormous variety of exotic species; invaluable local knowledge; and helpful, friendly staff

Lives up to the hype

The diving was truely incredible, some of the best I've ever done (I'm a DM with around 250 dives). The staff were very helpful and even put me at ease with the night dive involving sharks!

Fantastic trip with some of the best crew for a single traveler!

Night diving and seeing a shark, giant turtle and many corals and fish and getting additional certiifcations. I rented a digital underwater camera and took some amazing photographs. I also got certified in advanced open water and enriched air (nitrox) and the quality of the instructors and staff was excellent. They helped pair me up with other staff or divers (as I was traveling alone).

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.

Phenomenal live aboard, can't go wrong

I swam next to sharks, turtles, Cuddlefish, through underwater Swim-Through "caves," saw dozens of healthy bommies with beautiful coral. Found some sea slugs. Had a hilarious and friendly crew. The purchase was absolutely worth it! You won't regret this decision. :)

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)!

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.

One good dive, the food, and it was our honeymoon.

This trip is awesome don't miss out on it it's well worth the money

I have never been diving with sharks before so that was very cool and the relaxing atmosphere of the boat was just what I needed! The crew was very nice and was there to make your experience wonderful! Thanks!

Barrier Reef on a Budget

Prodive offers no-frills dive trips to the portions of the reef nearer to Cairns. This isn't the best diving around, nor does the boat have fancy food or rooms, but it is substantially lower cost than other providers. The crew and passengers were mostly young and very friendly, the diving was frequent/near constant (though several dives were repeat dives at the same site), and there was plenty of food that was just fine (though not gourmet, and generally skimpy on meat). The cabins were simple but comfortable enough to sleep just fine. Make sure you bring sunscreen (Queensland sun seems to burn you faster than anywhere else for some reason), shampoo, and at least two towels that can dry quickly. Tipping was optional and done with cash- $50 seemed to be above average and many didn't tip. Chapstick and a GoPro or waterproof camera are also important. If you're looking to dive the barrier reef on a budget, or you are a young backpacker looking to make some friends, Prodive is a great choice!
