Good value for the price
The trip visited some beautiful reefs with amazing hard corals. Marine life was overall good, not great, with the best dives being the night dives with lots of fish and shark activity. Boat felt crowded and dive deck was chaotic with 30 divers gearing up and lining up at once but was overall a pleasant experience. Dive briefings were very well done.

Amazing!
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Pro Dive Cairns. Diving the Great Barrier Reef has always been a dream of mine and this trip did not disappoint. What really made the trip incredible, though, was the crew. Every member of the team was friendly and professional and made an effort to ensure all guests felt welcomed and comfortable diving with them. A very special thank you to Julien who was my PADI advanced open water instructor during the trip. He truly was a great instructor and his passion for diving and sharing the sport he loves with others made the trip all that more special. Thank you Pro Dive Cairns and Julien!

Highly Recommended in Cairns!
The crew is so good! Before each dive, briefing will be provided. As it is unguided diving, I recommend that you need to be more adept at diving before coming. The diving site is quite nice and you can see almost all your dreamy creatures. The meals are also impressive, which include meat, vegetables and dessert. You will never get hungry!
