Best diving trip ever
Got my open water done and dived sites you cannot reach on a day trip. Food and cabins were better than expected. Saw sharks, turtles and rays.

Never wanted it to end
Waking up on the reef, diving before breakfast, meeting other travellers — the whole experience was magic. The crew felt like family by the end.

Incredible, cabins are cosy
The diving was absolutely world-class with amazing instructors. Cabins are compact as you would expect on a liveaboard but totally worth it.

Night dive was unreal
Diving the reef after dark was the highlight — reef sharks hunting right below us. Crew looked after us brilliantly the whole trip.

Amazing value liveaboard
So many dives packed in and every site was different. A bit of rocking at night but you get used to it. Would 100% do it again.

Learned to dive in paradise
The instructors were so patient getting me certified. By day three I was diving with confidence surrounded by the most incredible marine life.

Operated by Divers Den · 2 Days · Cairns, QLD
Save precious holiday time and complete your two pool and theory days before you arrive. All that’s left to do when you reach Cairns is take your open water training dives in the best classroom in the world – the Great Barrier Reef! Just show us your PADI Referral form to let us know you’ve completed the academic and confined water aspects of an Open Water Diver course within the last 12 months. If you have completed the academic and confined water training with a certifying agency other than PADI, we are generally able to convert your training and issue you with a PADI Open Water Diver Certification. However, further training will be required – at least a one-day PADI Scuba Review Program with a private instructor. (Additional charges apply, please contact us for details).
