We had pretty rough weather but the diving was awesome. The team did their best to make everyone confortable and knew the dive sites incredibly well. This meant we saw all there was to see under the water and not miss a thing. It was a really cool experince. I highly recommend ProDive Cairns to anyone!

We were very lucky with dive conditions, 25m visibility and zero swell. All the crew worked very hard to keep everything running smoothly. Food was exceptional and plenty of it. Most of all, coffee was good.

Fantastic experience
Amazing 3 days spent on the reef. Crew were excellent and the boat was so comfortable. Night dives were so fun with sharks floating around us at all times and lots of marine life to see. Highly recommend doing a liveaboard with Prodive. Very professional and well organised, all the way from hotel pickup to drop off at the end of the trip.

It was an amazing trip. Diving spots were stunning, full of life and biodiversity. Diving was intense but it was just about that, eating and chilling, and three days of that felt very adequate. We were certified divers so it was a very relaxing and enjoyable trip.

Great Liveaboard
All the people on the ship were amazing, great group of people, crew was great very helpful and knowledgeable about everything, and very social, end of the day they were just one of us and came to hangout. The reefs they chose look spectacular and have great life on them. They definitely exceeded my expectations and made my trip to Australia 100% worth it. Would definitely dive with them again.

Crew organization was amazing, dove locations were optimal with multiple spots to explore at each area, minimal travel between reefs.

Amazing Dives!
The crew were amazing and made this trip incredible. They were very accommodating with pickups and ensuring we were comfortable and safe on the boat. They had several safety measures to make sure everyone was on board before moving to a new dive site. They also offered some guided dives for people with less experience. We did our first night dive here and it was guided and amazing. They explained all the extra information needed to dive at night and provided all the lanterns and lights to ensure we stayed together. 11 dives in 3 days was a lot but we definitely got to see lots of cool parts of the Great Barrier Reef and some amazing wildlife. Would highly recommend!

The team at Pro Dive Cairns was just perfect! Everything was planned and we only had to relax and enjoy the ride! Food was plentiful and delicious, super clean, not to mention how thorough they are about safety and briefings! All gear was in excellent condition and they had brand new wetsuits for most of us (the older ones were good as well). I would love to join them again in the future!
