Since 1983 Pro Dive Cairns have been providing PADI Professional level training from Divemaster to Instructor rating. During this time we have developed an international reputation as the premier dive company in Cairns. You can expect the highest levels of quality, professionalism and value available in both diver education and liveaboard trips. Combined with our purpose built diver training centre and state of the art dive vessels you will have the best training environment in which to continue your professional diver education. Your training is conducted on the Great Barrier Reef, renowned as the Eighth Wonder of the World and a declared World Heritage site. It encompasses 350,000 square kilometres of the South Pacific Ocean and extends for 2,000 kilometres. It is made up of 2,900 individual reefs and 71 coral cays. Its ecosystem supports the greatest concentration of life on this planet including 1,500 species of fish, 350 different kinds of coral, 4,000 species of molluscs and 10,000 species of sponges. Water temperatures range from 22C to 30C allowing comfortable diving all year round. The PADI Divemaster course is the first level of the PADI Professional ratings. As a PADI Divemaster, you will hold the minimum rating for employment in the diving industry.
