Great Crew, tough conditions in early May
The crew did a great job despite rough sea conditions for our early May trip. Parker (dive leader), Carla (skipper) and the dive instructors Sarah, Manuel, and the rest of the crew did a great job trying to make sure we had a good experience despite ongoing rain and chop. The food was tasty and plentiful. The ship was clean and well kept.

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!

Highly Recommended in Cairns!
The crew is so good! Before each dive, briefing will be provided. As it is unguided diving, I recommend that you need to be more adept at diving before coming. The diving site is quite nice and you can see almost all your dreamy creatures. The meals are also impressive, which include meat, vegetables and dessert. You will never get hungry!
