three days exploring the great barrier reef

One day diving on The Great Barrier Reef is never enough, so join Pro Dive Cairns on a liveaboard dive trip, and spend three-days and two-nights exploring one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World.  You will visit a variety of outer Great Barrier Reef locations, all selected for their extravagance of marine life and excellent visibility.    

This personalised adventure offers an opportunity to participate in up to 11 dives, including two-night dives, as well as some great snorkelling on a variety of our 19 exceptional Outer Reef dive sites over four magnificent reefs: Flynn, Thetford, Milln and Pellowe Reefs. Diving at different times throughout the day, you will be able to encounter an amazing diversity of marine life including giant clams, majestic sea turtles, graceful stingrays, reef sharks, an incredible variety of tropical fish, spectacular coral formations and consistent underwater visibility. Night diving will introduce a whole new dimension of nocturnal life. 

Between dives, relax in comfort on board one of our three premium  Scubapro dive boats; these purpose-built liveaboard dive vessels; these feature air-conditioned twin or double cabins, spacious decks, catered meals, and the comforts of home. With small passenger numbers and close crew-to-guest ratios, a high-quality, personalised experience from our dedicated staff is ensured at all times.

Departing Cairns every day except Tuesday this three-day, two-night liveaboard trip offers a truly memorable and exciting way to fully immerse yourself and experience our magnificent World Heritage Great Barrier Reef environment.

Professional, Safe, Seamless and Supportive

Pro Dive Cairns really came through for me to finish my open water certification. Every single member of staff I interacted with was professional as well as being jovial and fun, from Reservations through to Instructor, Cook, and Skipper. I entered the open water course via referral and was quite anxious due to failing some skills on my first attempt. The instructor Satoshi was an absolute champion and positive to push me through and past the mental barrier. While onboard the liveaboard I could not fault the professionalism, safety, and hospitality of all the Pro Dive staff as well. It's good to see a company work collegiately as a seamless unit. Cannot recommend highly enough and will be back next year for the Minke whales!

Amazing diving experience

An amazing diving experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 day 2 night live aboard. If you looking to do this trip, ask to be put on a trip with Kevin who is the dive guide. He is hilarious and made the trip that much more enjoyable. Big D is also an awesome instructor for our advanced course. This was our first time diving unguided and we felt confident because of the thorough briefings. 2 of the toilets were blocked on our boat which made the entire boat smell real bad (this happened prior to us boarding the boat) so check that this is fixed before making your booking! Also the trip out to the sites in July is rough due to winds, make sure to take sea sick tablets.

My friend and I went SCUBA diving, but I lobster and never flounder.

Just came back from a 3 day / 2 night trip to finish my open water scuba certification! Except for the weather, everything was excellent. Special shout outs to my instructor Lisa who made me feel comfortable and safe in the choppy water and to Kevin who was hilarious and who kept the group in good spirits during briefings and announcements. Would highly recommend!
