One of the key features of this tour, which separates them from the rest, is the small group numbers on each trip. You should expect to find no more than 32 passengers on each tour, giving you freedom in the water away from the crowds, and maximum time with the 6 onboard crew of snorkel and diving instructors. Three multi-million dollar purpose built dive boats, designed to move quickly and comfortably across the water, make for the perfect dive and snorkel vessels. Each boat comes equipped with air conditioned twin rooms, freshwater showers, and heaps of space to kick back and relax whilst you anchor up at your new home on the Great Barrier Reef.
Trust us when we say that Pro Dive aren’t trying to make up for anything with all their top of the range dive gear and world class instructors. This company has exclusive access to 19 exceptional dive and snorkel sites. During your 3 day adventure, you’ll reef hop from place to place ensuring you see an incredible variety of wildlife. If you’re lucky enough to have a GoPro or smartphone with WIFI capabilities, we suggest you don’t leave that back on shore. With free onboard WIFI, you’ll be able to upload some of your best snaps of the day in between your time underwater.
One of the best things about this trip is that it has everything you need included in the price. The designated onboard chef will be working hard throughout the day to prepare 3 delicious meals a day with tons of bits in between, so you won’t go hungry. The crew onboard Pro Dive are all legends. They’re experienced, caring, and their attention to detail is second to none. No matter what level you’re at, they’ll make sure you have a fantastic time. If you haven’t realised by now, we highly recommend this trip. If you don’t believe us, check out their 5 star reviews online.
