Cairns luxury liveaboard dive trips 3 day 2 night liveaboards available from Cairns in Queensland Australia.
There is no better place in Australia to depart from to explore the Great Barrier Reef than Cairns Far North Queensland. The waters are crystal clear, the variety of marine life is immense, and the types of corals and reef formations will simply blow your mind. We always try to encourage all first-time visitors to spend at least one or more night out on the reef to really see its natural wonders. You do not have to be a scuba diver you can also be a snorkeller.

These reefs are Flynn, Thetford, Milne and Pellowe near the continental shelf on the outer edges of Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
This liveaboad dive trip has you staying out on the Great Barrier Reef for three days and two nights.
Take the time to really enjoy the reef in a more relaxed environment.
No New Divers Daily
No boat-to-boat transfers — you’re transferred to a boat that’s permanently moored on a reef so you spend all your time getting to know the people you left Cairns with and not being interrupted by day visitors that are dropped of for dive trips and share the space on your boat.
This makes it much more pleasant and comfortable for all divers, and lifelong friendships are formed.
Our fleet of modern multi-million dollar dive vessels (the only purpose built outer reef liveaboards in Cairns) have expansive dive decks and sun decks, and air-conditioned interiors, that will ensure your comfort for the duration of the trip.
With only 32 passengers onboard, all in 14 x twin bunk cabins or 2 x double cabin accommodation, you are assured of a personalised and memorable adventure!
It’s five star liveaboard dive boat comfort all the way.
For snorkellers who want to experience scuba diving for the first time, you can also do this on this reef trip with an Introductory Dive (We suggest you take advantage of the amazing location of where you are and do at least three introductory dives. We guarantee you will be hooked after that!)
The first dive is a little nervy, the second one you know the drill and the third one you just go with the flow and love it.
