ScubaPro II Liveaboard, Australia

Excellent dive trip

Observing all of the sea life on the Great Barrier Reef is without a doubt the #1 highlight of the trip. Other highlights include the enthusiasm and knowledge of the crew; each and every member played a role in making this an enjoyable trip.

You're here to DIVE, not Cruise!!!

If you're intent is to dive the reef and are not looking for luxury amenities onboard the boat, then this is your live aboard. One of the most professional & fun PADI dive crews that I have ever had the experience of diving with. Thanks to the Captain, Johnnie, Tami, Terri, Angus & Sean. If I missed anyone I apologize, you guys were great!!!

Amazing experience!! Highly recommended!

*the diving of course! It was absolutely beautiful and the sites really allowed you to see the variety of life and colors of the reef *the crew was awesome! Not only were they super kind and professional, but they knew when to have fun too. *we learned to self-navigate!!! I was a little worried about this at first but really enjoyed learning a new skill and feeling more comfortable under water! Plus we were given great instructions! * we felt safe and well taken care of the entire time! This operation is well oiled machine and everything ran super smoothly! Thanks again everyone on scuba pro lll, we had an amazing time with you all!

Very nice trip to the Great Barrier Reef.

Mostly just diving at another wonderful place in the world and a world-famous sure. Just saw one little part of the GBR so there’s plenty more for more trips and experiences. Corals seemed in very good shape to a non-expert like me and so glad to see zero rubbish of any kind in the water. Plenty of Reef life and loads of fish. Huge clams!

A typhoon all but ruined what otherwise seemed as a most promising trip

Ours was the last boat to safely make it to the harbor. That was quite a highlight.

Recommended for

Everything was right on - except for the storm

The great barrier reef is not doomed.

It was a diving trip and the diving was the highlight, we saw tons of life everywhere on the reef and many of the fish and turtles too were not concerned by our presence so we were able to get very close at times.

A few sharks and turtle. Very impressive at night.

Well organized and very professional. Best diving experience I had so far.

The sea turtles, reef sharks and sting rays. Met some very nice diving buddies on board. Comfortable cabins. Slept right through the storm. First time I dived at night. Great experience. First time I navigated without a guide. Briefings were good. Felt awesome. I was pleasantly surprised by the richness of the meals on board.

Amazing experience on the Reef

Fantastic experience

Overall a fantastic experience. It was my first liveaboard experience and delivered beyond expectations. The diving was fantastic. The dive briefings were clear and comprehensive, and the sites selected were magnificient and varied with beautiful corals and a wide variety of sea life. The equipment was great quality, easy to organise and many different size options to select from. The food was fantastic. The chef (Angus) did an excellent job, and was very accommodating to people's food preferences. The boat was very clean, and the accommodation basic (as expected for the price), but very clean and comfortable. We had fantastic weather which made the trip out to the reef and 2 nights on the reef very comfortable.

Briefing, food, kind staff

Lovely atmosphere, dive sites quite limited

Good points: Quality of crew was excellent: clear dive instructions, plenty of suggestions on things to find and see, safety in the water, how to protect the reef, especially how to limit your impact on night dives! Easy enough to jump into a guided group without extra charge, or decide to do a certificate. Strong focus on safety and responsibility. With the crew and your fellow live-pboards right out of the harbour, so great opportunity to get to know everyone, have a constant buddy on dives and build a group rapport - I think nearly everyone went out for food/drinks on our return day! High quality equipment, team worked hard to ensure everything ready for you. Points for improvement: Living quarters a little cramped, no towel supplied; dive sites had less varied marine life compared to other live-aboards (to a point this can't be helped, however). Overall, I would stay on ScubaPro/use Pro-Dive again and would recommend them as a great live-aboard option!

1. Amazing food; 2. Close-knit atmosphere; 3. High quality of dive instruction/advice

A fantastic experience where we could safely enjoy the incredible scenery with a perfect crew

The coral gardens, where the snorkelers could really enjoy as much as the divers, we snorkeled with turtles while the divers met a shark! It was a gorgeous dive site, it was like flying over gardens.
