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
Exeter, UK
We went on the 3-day liveaboard trip. What can I say, the trip of a lifetime! Not only is the Great Barrier Reef everything that you hope it is, but the scale of the operation run by Pro Dive Cairns is impressive. Everything is very well thought-out, from the meals (Scott was fantastic cook!) to the briefings at every site (Kevin was very knowledgeable while at the same time transmitting the right amount of friendliness to make you comfortable to ask anything at anytime). The whole crew (including Rafa, Christie, Satoshi, and Caleb) was great, and you can tell they work very hard at all times to make the whole trip possible. A huge thanks to all. We also loved the flexibility of being able to choose between guided and self-guided (always with a buddy!) dives at each one of our 11 dives. We did a bit of both, as each has its advantages. We take the best memories from this trip. If you are lucky like us, you will also leave the trip with friendships that we hope last a lifetime.

My friends and I did a 4 days e-learning open water course with 3 days 2 nights liveaboard. All the crews, instructors, divemasters were super professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Food was delicious, hot shower was fantastic. Special shout-out to our instructor Flo who made our learn to dive experience so enjoyable, she took good care of all students from the pool to the ocean and made sure we all grasped the skills required for diving. We are now certified adventure divers and are confident to apply what we’ve learned to dive in the future. It was a very pleasant and memorable experience, will definitely book dive trips again in the future with Pro dive! 100% recommended!!

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.
