  • Join an ECO Advanced Certified experience, committed to the long-term conservation of The Great Barrier Reef
  • Dive with the highest safety standards in the world; with safety as the number one priority, there is no safer place to dive in the world

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


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


The theory component of the courses begins pre-trip. Within 24 hours of your
booking, you'll receive details on how to use the online PADI eLearning portal
and begin your course. Here you'll read and watch prerequisite content and
perform a final knowledge review. By completing the theory component before
your trip, you'll be able to maximize the number of possible nitrox and
pleasure dives!


The course consists of eleven dives, of which five are training dives to
practice theory. The theory section can also be completed on board, as there
are no formal classroom or pool training sessions involved. The involved
theory requires you to read the PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) and Advanced Open
Water manuals and complete their relevant knowledge reviews before doing the
related training dives.


The courses are designed to allow maximum enjoyment of your liveaboard
experience while still having ample time set aside to complete the knowledge
reviews throughout the trip.


During these PADI dive courses, 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!


Relax between dives 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 the vessel
carries a small number of passengers, the crew can offer a high-quality,
personal experience with dedicated attention, making sure you get to enjoy a
special experience that you'll never forget!
