There are 14 twin bunk bed and 2 double bed cabins on each of these Cairns liveaboards. They do not have en-suite facilities, but with 8 bathrooms onboard there is 1 for every 4 guests, so this is not really problematic.

The 2 double bed cabins and a twin cabin are located on the main deck, with 3 more twin cabins on the upper deck and have windows that allows natural light in. The remainder are located on the lower deck and feature cabin lighting and reading lights.

All the cabins are air-conditioned, have storage space for your bags and all have a reading light, in case you want to add all the marine creatures you encountered on your daily dives to your dive log.

All the cabins have: No. of bathrooms / showers - 8 / 8 - hot water

Cairns Barrier Reef (3 Days / 2 Nights - 11 Dives)

Day 1
An early morning transfer from your Cairns hotel to the Pro Dive shop, meet the other guests and crew of your diving safari and then you will be onboard the liveaboard ready to leave port. A light breakfast is served onboard, followed by the 1st dive of your trip at around 11:30 am. The instructors on board will evaluate your underwater skills.
Lunch awaits you when you are back onboard: a hot soup to warm you, but also salad and cold meat to fill you up nicely. The 2nd dive is at 2:30 pm and you can enjoy the abundance of both hard and soft corals that are home to a great variety of fish life. More time to experience the underwater wonders of the Cairns Barrier Reef during the 3rd dive at 4:30 pm. Enjoy some freedom while diving with your buddy, as not all the dives are guided.
Back on board, and 6 pm is dinner time. Meals will vary during the cruise, with a varied buffet, including roasted chicken, spaghetti, saffron rice and grilled fish. The day is not over yet though, as there is still a 4th dive (night dive) at 7:30 pm, usually at the same site of the previous dive so that all the divers are more familiar with the surroundings. Eyes open for turtles, crabs and hunting fish, and sometimes a reef shark as a special guest. Back onboard, a nice surprise for you: dessert is served!

Day 2
These minke whale trips are a highlight of the Great Barrier Reef scuba calendar. Amazing encounters with these inquisitive creatures happen during their June and July migration. They are very curious and love to interact with snorkellers around the boat.
While the boat moves to the 1st dive site of the day, boost your energy with a light continental breakfast. In the water at 7 am. See if you can find big gorgonian fans, or giant clams surrounded by bumphead parrotfish and sweetlips. You will be served fresh fruit, bacon, eggs and toast when you are back on board. The 2nd dive is at 10:30 am, followed again by more food during the buffet style lunch. You do deserve some rest as well, in your own cabin or up on the sundeck, but don't miss the 3rd dive at 3 pm. Don't worry if you do though, you have an extra chance to get wet during the 4th dive (a night dive again) at 7 pm, just after dinner.

Day 3
Your last day on board starts with the 1st dive at 6:30 am, followed by a hearty breakfast and the 2nd and last dive of your safari. Freshly made sandwiches await your return. Enjoy the last hours on board Scubapro, before being transferred back to your city hotel mid afternoon. If you haven't made any plan for the evening, you can join your dive buddies and crew at a local restaurant to relive the highlights of your Great Barrier Reef experience.

"They had great, easy to follow dive plans. The food, the staff and the whole experience of being on a liveaboard was excellent and beyond my expectations. I will definitely do again." - Joshua M Sampson, United States, 6 September 2024 ...

"Pro Dive is a nice shop and they run an efficient operation. The staff on the liveaboard was great. Josh was a terrific dive coordinator, Marceo and Rafa and Hiro were super helpful in getting in/out of the water, Arek was a good captain and Bonnie an excellent chef. All gear worked well and I really enjoyed their company on the boat. I would not hesitate to advise someone to use them in the future." - Scott Moye-Rowley, USA, 6 May 2015 ...
