Description
Embark on a 3 day adventure that will have you living aboard a boat, diving and snorkelling to your heart’s content. Pro Dive’s liveaboard trip is unparalleled in terms of both value and experience, and enables you to have the best possible experience on the Outer Great Barrier Reef.
To truly experience the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, staying on the reef for a couple of days is essential. You will have ample time to unwind, enjoy the reef at leisure and dive and snorkel as much as you want.
Pro Dive’s liveaboard experience is better value for money than any other liveaboard trip or day trip you’ll find. Certified divers can join up to 11 dives, consisting of 9 day dives and 2 night dives. Snorkellers will be able to explore a large array of great sites on the outer reef.
With 16 dive sites exclusive to Pro Dive located on 4 separate locations on the outer reef, you’ll get to visit a choice selection on each trip. The sites have been chosen based on their quality and variety of coral and undersea life, as well as their superior clarity and visibility. The same site is rarely dived more than twice, so the underwater landscapes you see will be pristine.
The three superior dive vessels, all of which are purpose built for liveaboard dive trips and cost millions of dollars, are a wonderfully comfortable way to stay overnight on the reef. The vessels measure 25 metres or 80 feet in length and are equipped with 14 twin share cabins and 2 double cabins. Private amenities are shared between every two cabins. Central air conditioning ensures the vessels stay cool, airy and light all through the day. The boats are also equipped with two spacious decks, one dedicated to equipment and gear and the other for relaxation and sunbathing. Pro Dive has the only vessels in the area that are built specifically for liveaboard adventures on the outer reef.

This particular liveaboard dive trip is much more suited to Certified Divers, although there are options for snorkelers (non-divers) to participate. However, you can certainly complete your PADI pool & theory closer to home, and then do a 3 Day Ocean Referral PADI Course on this liveaboard boat from Cairns.
