Silverswift Dive and snorkel from Cairns
Departing daily from Cairns, Silverswift is a luxury 29-metre catamaran designed with everything you need to experience an underwater world of colourful marine life in safety and comfort. This trip visits three different sites on The Outer Barrier Reef, allowing certified divers to experience up to 3 dives in a day. Introductory diving is also available onboard for those interested in trying a dive for the very first time.
Adventurous snorkellers can explore spectacular coral formations and underwater gardens awash with vibrantly coloured marine creatures.
Locations vary with the conditions, however, each site is chosen for visual impact, ecological diversity, and the challenge of discovery. Onboard, your crew will encourage you to relax and enjoy the comfort of Silverswift with its bar facilities, fresh water showers, air conditioning and a delicious lunch for hungry adventurers.
Morning and afternoon tea is provided and the spacious deck areas are ideal for sharing a cold drink and tales of your adventure.

Tripadvisor Reviews
This was the best experience iv ever had, iv become even more obsessed with the ocean because of them. The course was so easily run and it felt more like a holiday then a training session, each dive we learn something new and gave us massive confidence boost, even tho most days the ocean was a mess it didn’t matter, by the last day it felt like iv been diving for years, it definitely solidified my choice to become a rescue diver one day. I can’t wait to book my rescue course or even master dive and I have to go with pro dive cairns again, i have to.

The 3 day Minke whale trip is a great adventure. The boat is a good size for the number of people and the dive deck for the number of divers. Easy access in and out of the water. Beds comfy, food plentiful and tasty. Our skipper and all the staff very friendly and helpful. Our trip was pretty hairy in terms of weather conditions, but seasick tablets were available and they got us home safe. Most importantly we did see Minkes! Not as many as previous trips, but we did have one brief in-water encounter. The luck of the draw. The diving was lovely. Overall a great trip.
