Amazing experience

Just finished my open water course (5 day course, 3day live aboard) with ProDive Cairns and had such a great time. Flo and Kevin were amazing instructors, who I don’t think even stopped from the minute they picked us up in the bus to go to the training centre, til we got off the boat on day 5. The knowledge, care and attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed. From teaching us in the class room, cleaning the lunch station in between our training videos, doing 13 dives over 5 days, hooking the tender on the back of the boat with 20 knot winds, cleaning dishes and bathrooms, stripping down the linen and always being so happy and helpful. They have made our experience unforgettable, I hope the crew are well looked after because they really do go above and beyond!

Would do again in a heartbeat

I did the 3 day 2 night liveaboard as a solo traveler (age 17).I felt very welcome by everybody right from the beginning and everyone on the trip was really great, instructors, cook, other divers, etc. Great atmosphere among the group and everyone has a shared love for the ocean. Very international.Dive instructors were great, plenty food. I brought my own snacks but didn't open a single one as I was well fed.We did 11 dives, all were in fantastic reefs and the water visibility was incredible with really healthy reefs. This included 2 night dives. I had my open water certification going into the trip but chose not to do any further offered courses such as Advanced. (purely recreational diving)We saw turtles, plenty of sharks, incredible corals, rays, cuttlefish, etcTo improve and to make the trip more comfortable, it would be great if the air conditioning was a bit less cold as a lot of people felt cold. I recommend to bring a sweater.

Once of a lifetime experience

Once of a lifetime experience scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef! Seamless booking experience and pre trip planning and communication were great. We booked a 3 day/2night liveaboard and did our open water certification on the trip (we did the pool/classroom portion previously in the US). The boat was spacious and we were very well fed (thanks to Sam for providing great meals throughout the entire journey!). Got our open water certification with our instructor Lisa who was patient with us and provided great feedback throughout the trip. We felt safe on all the dives (we did 8 in total) and got informative pre dive briefings from our dive master Kevin who was personable and friendly and did a great job keeping us on schedule to see the most amount of areas and diving spots but also safe. Saw beautiful reefs and landscapes! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit Cairns/Great Barrier Reef!
