Hightlight

Your Great Barrier Reef adventure will begin with an early morning transfer from your accommodation to the boat. You are on your first dive in just under 3hrs. There are 16 dives sites to dive over 4 different reefs, all exclusive to Pro Dive. Scubapro will move between dive sites during your stay on the reef and you will do as many as 11 dives during this trip. Before each dive you will be given a thorough dive briefing and although we do not offer in water guided dives we have professional dive supervisors providing deck watch at all times.

Our vessels are 25 metres (80 feet) in length, centrally air-conditioned, light and airy. There are 2 large decks, one for scuba diving and snorkel gear and one strictly for sun tanning and relaxing. These vessels are the only purpose built outer reef dive liveaboards operating in the area. There are a total of 16 Cabins which sleep a maximum of two per cabin and a bathroom for every two cabins. Dinner, the menu changes each trip, however it will be wholesome, hot and of course lots of it. Dessert is served after the night dive. Please advise if you are a vegetarian and we will do our best to make sure we cater for you. Single travellers are accommodated in the twin berth cabins with another diver.

Snorkellers joining this itineray are well looked after. Gear hire for snorkellers includes wetsuit, mask, fins and snorkel. When in the water you will have the use of pool noodles and flotation devices and supervised by Pro Dive's  professional Dive Deck.  Snorkellers can also try scuba diving whilst out on the reef.

2 review for Prodive Great Barrier Reef 3D2N Liveaboard Trip / 4-5 days PADI Open Water Course

  1. Recommend Prodive’s Padi Open Water course!

    I signed up for 5 days 4 nights Padi Open Water course (3 days on the boat), at the end we could select to level up to Adventure certificate to dive down 30 m.

    Highly recommend to get the scuba dive licence with Prodive as they’re really professional. The boat was clean and the staff took good care of us. It’s better to bring seasick pills on the boat.

  2. 難忘經驗

    深潛行程值得一去，沒有深潛過的人也可一試。
    船上工作人員都非常的親切，潛水指導員也很專業。
    只是建議，如果知道自己會暈船，或遇大風浪會暈船的人，真的建議要提前吃暈船葯，不然真的整個航程若遇大風浪的話，會非常的難過。
    另外也建議，如果從沒有潛水過的人，可以先試浮潛，待自己較熟悉只用嘴巴呼吸後，再去進行深潛會比較能成功。
