Reviews
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟It is an unforgettable life experience to choose the Great Barrier Reef for the first time to learn to dive.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The instructor of me and my husband during our Honeymoon trip were Michael. We came from Hong Kong. Although we are not the native speaker, Michael was willing to lower down his speaking speed and teaching us with patience. We would like to thank him a lot. We enjoyed so much with this PADI Open water diving course provided by Pro Dive Cairns and the nature! days in training center and three days on board. The first two day we can order the lunch/ dine in the restaurant near training centre. The third day or after they will provide Breakfast, Lunch and dinner. The experience to both of us was incredible and amazing. The weather in Great Barrier Reef was very warm and sunny but in the Cairns city was rainy. Everything was good except we cannot snorkel well in the first time when we jumped to the sea coz we drank a lot sea water. we will be back to Cairns and choose the boat trip with Pro Dive Cairns again in the not far future definitely ! Traveling to Australia with my husband for honeymoon, the most important part of this journey is definitely the Diving Hall and the Great Barrier Reef liveaboard! The sea water of the Great Barrier Reef is so clear & salty (don’t ask me to explain it, I’ll know haha), the bottom visibility is high, and there are many fat fish, sea cucumbers, sea turtles and sharks! On the second day, after the card test, a night dive is included, and the black mosquitoes around are carrying a flashlight, so exciting! If you see this feedback, it is recommended that you first register before you know how to swim, because there is an individual ability test to pass (if you can’t swim, you can transfer to another field), and after you get the diving license, you can carry the underwater camera into the sea For photography, you can choose to bring your own / rent a go pro in the city center / rent it at a local center). You can send an email to the center in advance to ask about the details of the course! In the class, I will talk about the recommended wilds to take to the liveaboard (remember to bring motion sickness medicine, digestive medicine, medicinal oil, etc. when sailing in huge waves), and other wilds can be placed in the store room of the Pro Dive Cairns retail store (disembarked After the car, you can go back and carry it, it’s so convenient) Gentle reminder, you should take some wave-sickness medicine before boarding the boat (you can buy wave-sickness medicine at Cairns Supermarket) and you should not eat too much breakfast after boarding the boat! But when the boat stopped, I would have to eat again. I was so shocked that I would vomit colorfully, so I just drank the left cup of coffee and had nothing to eat! The journey is so unforgettable, but unfortunately I didn't see the clownfish. My husband and I plan to definitely return to the Great Barrier Reef for diving in the future! Thank you Klook for making my trip more exciting! Thanks Klook for providing this amazing experience to us!
Depends on whether I want to be a real diving expert or just casual diving. Quite physically demanding to dive 9 times in the sea. But it's real good experiences if you aim to develop your diver career
The instructors in Pro Dive Cairns are very friendly, helpful, and professional. They provide both theory and practical exercises in the pool to strengthen our memories. However, the introduction of the course in Klook isn't updated. It says Chinese language courses commence on Wednesday, but when I arrive at the center, they tell me there are no longer Chinese courses after COVID-19. So, I didn't expect it and attended the English course finally. Luckily my instructor understood my worries about the language barrier, and was trying to show me how to do step by step.
It was totally worth to try! The scene was amazing too.
Amazing course! Definitely would recommend anyone who wishes to do an open water diving course. Professional instructors, comprehensive facilities on board, excellent chefs. What more to ask for?
