Get ready to take the next step in your diving certification and prepare for a
thrilling underwater adventure with the PADI Advanced Open Water course
provided by Pro Dive Cairns!

Pro Dive Cairns is a high standard operator with an Advanced Ecotourism
Certification and is committed to the long-term conservation of the Great Barrier
Reef. Together with their professional crew, you'll be able to develop your
diving skills while making minimal impact on your dashing underwater
surroundings.

During the first two days of the course, you'll be training at the five-star
PADI training center located centrally in Cairns city, where you'll study dive
theory in a classroom and practice scuba diving skills in the pool. Once
finished with the pool training, it's time to head out for a three-day
liveaboard adventure on the Great Barrier Reef, where you'll become a
certified diver!

On the Great Barrier Reef, you'll get to participate in up to nine dives. The
first four dives are training dives, during which you will complete your PADI
Open Water Certification. Once you're certified, you'll do five recreational
fun dives; one of which is a thrilling night dive guided by your instructor!
To keep your experience highly personal and enjoyable, you'll have the same
instructor for the entire trip.

You'll have access to a selection of 19 beautiful Outer Reef dive sites on
four magnificent reefs: Flynn, Thetford, Milln, and Pellowe Reef. With dives
carefully spread out throughout the day, you'll get to encounter an
astonishing variety of marine life, including giant clams, sea turtles,
stingrays, reef sharks, an unbelievable variety of tropical fish, and
spectacular coral formations. And by adding night dives to the mix, you'll
discover a whole new dimension of nocturnal marine life!

In between dives, you can relax in the comfort provided on a premium Scubapro
dive vessel. This liveaboard dive vessel features air-conditioned twin bunk
beds or double bed cabins, spacious decks, Wi-Fi, and catered meals. Because
