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.
