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.


Please Note: some medical conditions may prevent you diving and you will be required to complete a waiver and medical statement prior to the trip. If you have recently/continue to suffer from an illness or condition that may affect your dive fitness,  or are currently taking any prescription medication, you will need to consult a doctor for a 'fit to dive' medical certificate.

The experience of a lifetime

Booked the Open water/Adventure dive course. Spent 2 days in the dive centre learning in the pool and completing theory. Spent 3 days 2 nights on the reef. What an experience. Mike was our instructor in the pool and on our first five dives on the reef including 1 night dive. Excellent knowledge of diving and a brilliant instructor throughout. Calm, cool and collected. Reassured my gf when she was slightly panicking during a mask exercise. Calmed her down and she completed the task. Our other instructor was Kevin. Kevin completed the theory with us in the class room and instructed us on our last couple of dives which were a deep dive and an underwater navigational dive. Like Mike, he was relaxed and full of knowledge but also the funniest man on the reef. Had the entire boat laughing from start to finish. A great character. The staff on board were also fantastic. Marine made us delicious food at regular intervals to keep us full of energy for our action filled days. Special mention also to Matty, Courtney, Caro and Chris. Extremely nice people and provided a great atmosphere to learn to dive. Will 100% be back to dive again with Pro dive Cairns. An experience of a lifetime. Thank you and all the best, Cathal and Elaine.

5 day open water course

Did my open water course with pro dive with Flo as my instructor. The whole course was excellent and made so much better by Flo who is very knowledgeable, calm and fun! The 5 day course with the liveaboard included is such good value for money and once you're certified you get to go off with your buddy and explore the dive sites yourself. I initially thought that would be daunting but the whole crew are very supportive and give you excellent briefings.Overall I would highly recommend

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!
