THE ONE THAT GIVES YOU AN EPIC 5-DAY DIVING COURSE IN THE REEF’S BEST DIVING SPOTS

If you're going to learn to dive, you might as well do it submerged in one of the natural wonders of the world. Head out to the Great Barrier Reef and embark on the PADI ‘Open Water’ dive course, with 2-days of pool and classroom training followed by 2 nights spent at sea for coral exploration and ocean magic. To the bucket list annnd TICK!

Travel is best shared. This is a small group adventure with an open-age group, run by Pro Dive in partnership with Contiki, giving you the perfect balance of local expertise, authentic experiences, and new friends to travel with.

WHAT YOU GET

4 nights accommodation

1 night in Hostel, 1 night in Boat

You'll spend the first two nights in a hostel in Cairns, learning the basics of scuba diving, then it's on to the live-aboard boat for two nights for some actual reef diving.

5 included Meals

Travel with an open-age group of people from around the world

The reef is beautiful but they never mentioned needing to get looked over by a medical doctor before hand. I would personally recommend booking through pro dive instead of contiki

Yes. Awesome deal. Awesome time.

Learning to scuba dive was one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made. If you’ve ever considered it, you definitely should do it.

Contiki was misleading

The value was negated by the fact that we were pressured into spending extra money at every turn. The pressure to up size at the eateries was bad enough but the pressure to spend $300, $400 or even $500 extra on dive equipment and the pressure to spend more money to upgrade our trip once we were captive on the boat was appalling. I assume they were trying so hard to make us spend money because they would earn extra commission and not because it was genuinely going to enhance our trip.

Learn to Dive was amazing, but don't book via Contiki!!!

The trip was amazing. The other people were great fun, amazing instructors and amazing wildlife diving on the great barrier reef.
