Great dive trip
This was my first time on an overnight dive boat and it didn’t disappoint. We did 4 dives a day including 2 night dives. The water clarity was good and there was plenty to see. I was impressed with the staff who went out of their way to make sure I had something to eat at each meal because I’m vegan.

Staff were brilliant from pickup to drop off nothing was to much trouble
As an older ( yes the eldest person on board 54) I was a little apprehensive about doing this trip as a single but no worries to be had crew made it so easy. The food was excellent throughout the trip I do not eat cheese we only had one meal with cheese while I was onboard but there was plenty of other options so no problem. I must add I never contacted Pro Dive to say about the no cheese thing so again great food Once again a big thank you to all at Pro Dive on a fantastic trip I will spread the word

Getting to go unguided on a dive for the first time; feeling confident from the briefing that we could manage. Saw many reef sharks and sting rays! And lots of varied fish species. Felt well supported by staff all round, and they kept the happy atmosphere alive. Many thanks!

Amazing Value, Great Crew, Clean and Efficient!!
This trip was seamless! The crew is efficient, clean, and knowledgeable. The ship always felt clean and the cabins were large enough, considering we were in confined quarters. The food was also always hot and delicious, as well as varied. Always felt safe and taken care of on board. Thanks, everyone!!!

Fantastic first live aboard which exceeded my expectations
The corals were in better condition than expected given all the news we have heard about bleaching. Although some dives were shallow, they were some of the best dives with great swim throughs, abundant fish life and colourful corals.

Unforgettable
The entire trip was a highlight for me. The guys at Pro Dive and liveaboard kept me so well informed from my initial enquiry to the moment I was dropped back at my hotel. Our dive master, Raphael, had a wonderful knowledge of the reef and his love and enthusiasm for it was a real pleasure to be able to share in. The whole pro dive team shared this enthusiasm and knowledge and were all so hard working and helpful, efficient but with a real sense of fun. Anyone considering diving the Great Barrier Reef should put their dreams in the hands of these guys, it would be a safe bet and will leave you with memories that will last you a lifetime. Thanks to all at liveaboard and pro dive, hope to see you again soon.

Seen a lot in a short time, but sometimes a bit stressful!
To be able to dive with our own equipment with 100% shark guarantee! Clear water and a nice crew!Sometimes it was stressful for us, because we were diving alone and wanted to enjoy our dives, so always the last ones were at the dinner table:-) But there was already the cleaning spray and vacuum cleaner used when we wanted to eat... . -( Was a bit unpleasant! For us there were also too many people on the boat, was partly a bit impersonal, prefer small boats and groups! But for the price it was okee.. It would be nice if these larger boats could also show some consideration for divers with longer dives. Were the only ones on the boat with longer dives over 25 minutes!! Practically most of them went back on board after 25-35 minutes!! For us, this has NOTHING to do with diving...

My first Liveaboard trip was a fantastic experience!
This was my first trip to Australia and diving on the GBR was a "bucket list" item for me. The Liveaboard with ScubaPro III was my first liveaboard experience and I know I made the best choice. The boat was clean and comfortable, the staff were awesome and the diving was great. I took the opportunity to upgrade my dive license to Advanced open water while on board which was really a great value as well and my instructor was the best! Safety and fun on the boat were definitely a focus and all of the boat staff made sure that everyone was clear and comfortable with our dive plans prior to each dive. We did 11 dives over 3 days which gave a great variety of when we were in the water (early morning, midday and night dives) that I had previously not experienced. The night dives I was nervous about but they actually turned out to be my favorites. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is interested in a true diving experience and in meeting people from around the world. Craig (Canada)

My last night dive for sure. The chef decided he wanted to dive with us, which obviously we said no problem. It was probably my best ever dive. Thank you

1. The crew - always talking and making every one feel comfortable but also remaining very professional. A difficult thing to do for 3 days straight. 2. The catering services - the food was excellent. Plenty of choices for all types of food lovers. If you went hungry, it was your own fault because there was plenty. And also very well prepared. 3. The captain - we had very rough and tough conditions. He did an amazing job in keeping every one safe and up to date on the situation.
