Unsafe and poor management of cyclone situation
The crew were friendly and helpful, and the briefings were clear. The food was great and there was plenty of it. I really liked the diving to begin with as it was unguided and we were able to always do at least 60 minutes of diving. The first day of diving was ok although conditions were not too good but it was the second day where it became a lot less enjoyable due to cyclone Narelle. The main issue I had with this trip was the way in which the team responded to cyclone Narelle. Firstly we were the only dive boat from Cairns that still went out on the 18th when the cyclone was forcast for the 19th and 20th. Several people asked whether it was safe and a good idea, but Prodive said its not undiveable so we will still go. Unfortunatley it felt as though pro-dive were keen to not cancel the trip in order to still get money from the customers as the conditions were not enjoyable, and in some instances unsafe. The reason for this was that due to the cyclone the dives had very limited 1-2m visibility, strong currents and difficult conditions. Several unexperienced members of our group got lost, were panicking, had ear injuries due to struggling to equalise as the currents were pushing us up and down, e.c.t... I thought it was unresponsible of ProDive to encourage diving in these conditions because a lot of coral was broken due to divers being pushed into it, many people struggled and overall the diving was not ideal, especially for the beginners. We were also told it would be safe to stay out on the reef during the cyclone as we would be shielded by the reef but when the swell came round the reef we had to suddenly leave, leaving the lines in the ocean as we were getting pushed into the reef, and then quickly return to shore. Pro-dive stated that a partial refund would be issued although after 10 days I have still not received any further confirmation despite chasing the operator. I would therefore not recommend this company that appears to prioritise profits over customer safety and service.

The underwater world of Cairns is very beautiful, and it is also the first time to experience the free feeling of navigating by yourself without DM, which is a real fun dive.

Great dive trip
We loved it. Great dives, friendly crew, and good conditions. The crew was great, giving a briefing and info, and we enjoyed the space on the top deck. Even though the trip was sold out, it didn't feel too crowded. There was space, and it was nice and quiet too, so you could enjoy the ocean.
