SCUBAPRO About Pro Dive and the Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is a natural wonder of the world and is a declared World Heritage site. It encompasses 350,000 sq kilometres of the South Pacific Ocean and is made up of 2,900 individual reefs and 71 coral cays. Its ecosystem supports the greatest concentration of life on this planet including 1500 species of fish, 350 different corals, 4,000 species of molluscs and 10,000 species of sponges.

Water temperature ranges from 22° to 28° Celsius (75° - 85° F) allowing comfortable diving all year round

For the certified diver or snorkeller our 3 day 2 night trip departs Cairns 6 times per week and offers up to 11 dives. Our fleet boasts 3 premium purpose built dive vessels, offering the best living on board conditions. We visit a large variety of our 16 exclusive sites which are spread over 4 different reefs over the trip duration. These sites have been selected for their extravagance of marine life and excellent visibility thus ensuring you see the best the outer Great Barrier Reef has to offer. Unlimited snorkelling is also available and all cabins are TWIN share.

Scubapro I, II and III Image

Scubapro was purpose built and then launched in April 1998. Major specifications were that she could handle all varying weather conditions in the Tropical North and offer a smooth and comfortable ride. The formula was a huge success and in February 2002 a sister ship, Scubapro II, was launched. We are in the next phase of our expansion plan with our third liveaboard dive boat, Scubapro III, launched in April 2004.

All vessels feature 14 twin share cabins and 2 double cabins with private amenities for every 4 guests. Private cabins allow privacy and time to relax between diving and snorkelling. The vessels are centrally air-conditioned, light and airy. There are 2 large decks: one for gear and one strictly for sun tanning and relaxing.

Specifications and features of Scubapro I, II and III demonstrate that these boats also make excellent options for day or over night charters.

Important: Insufficient dive qualifications and/or some medical conditions may prevent you form diving. Prior to diving you will be asked in writing: "Are you currently suffering from any illness or injury that may be incompatible with diving?" If you answer yes to this question you will be required to get a release from your doctor saying that you are fit to dive.

This must be acquired PRIOR to departure.

If you have any questions about any of these medical requirements please contact us.
