AMAZING. I can't wait to do it again.

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.

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.

Book it now, ProDive Cairns 3 day, 2 night GBR

Super healthy coral reefs, heaps of marine life (during the day), great vis, calm seas and perfect weather for our trip in October was a plus. The 2 night dives were disappointing though. Apart from the pack of fish that hang around the boat and use your dive lights to hunt at night, little else was visible, if it was, it got eaten quickly by the jacks and vampire fish that stay with the boat then follow you at night. They're there because after scraping the food off the dishes, the plates are rinsed overboard. Aside from that, the boat is perfectly equipped, the bunks are comfy, the food delicious and plentiful. Our crew was excellent, friendly and professional. With 32 divers and 5 crew, it never felt crowded. The day time diving, and snorkeling were both top notch. I'm a former PADI instructor, my wife and daughter both dive and my son is too young for certification so we all took turns snorkeling with him. The trip was fantastic, seriously, just book it, you won't regret it.

Incredible experience

Great all round trip! Incredible value for money. The crew were awesome and it was a great crowd to dive with. Things to note for anyone reading: - Diving tends to be pretty shallow (great visibility and easy diving) - Lots of beginner and inexperienced divers - not that its a bad thing, but just as an fyi - Diving is unguided so be prepared for this - the first dive and night dive are guided, but the crew were helpful in getting people up to speed on navigation - Food is GREAT and crew is FUN. - Generally a younger crowd on this boat

Diving early in the morning or at night, something you couldn't do if you didn't sleep on the boat

Exceeded expectations!

Seeing the huge variety of sea life, including turtles, reef sharks, stingrays, moray eels, colourful fish, giant clams, and the living coral. The weather and sea conditions were perfect, with great clarity wherever we stopped to dive. The crew were absolutely amazing!

Amazing 🤩

Thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this trip, could have stayed out longer, only downfall was leaving the boat! Fantastic crew who were really helpful and supportive as were the people on board. Really easy communication both with live aboard and prodive. Highly recommend both!
