Pro Dive Cairns is part of the Pro Dive franchise - the world's largest dive store chain. Established in 1983, Pro Dive Cairns is locally owned and managed by its directors, Rod Punshon and Kevin Hensly. As Cairns premier dive company, and with an international reputation, Pro Dive Cairns caters for both the novice and the qualified diver/snorkeller with the same high standard of professionalism and service, and a range of features and services second to none. Pro Dive Cairns is a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre, the highest rating a dive centre can achieve, denoting excellence in diver training at all levels from beginner to instructor. Recognised as a world leader in all aspects of Scuba Diving Education, Pro Dive Cairns has effectively certified over 40,000 students. Kevin and Rod took over Pro Dive Cairns as partners in 1984, and wasted no time mapping out plans for expansion. A three stage plan was decided upon and since then stage one, the building and establishment of an innovative diver training facility in Spence Street including class rooms and purpose built pool, has been completed. Recently, stage two came to fruition with the launch of ournew vessel SCUBAPRO, in April 1998, and stage three will be the launch of a sister vessel to SCUBAPRO. An attractive purpose-built 25 metre dive vessel, SCUBAPRO is air-conditioned and boasts 14 twin and 2 double cabins. Perfect for liveaboards and overnight trips, SCUBAPRO is also available for day and overnight diving or reef cruising charters for up to 32 guests. The training centre is located in the city of Cairns and features Cairns deepest diver training pool, heated to a comfortable level in the colder months and with shade cloth for sun protection during summer. The centre also has changing rooms with showers, 2 air-conditioned classrooms, and on-site medical examination room. The company employs approximately 40 staff, including Dive Instructors, administration staff, and sales and marketing personnel. Some staff have been with the company for over 10 years, and an active hands-on, open door approach are just some of the ingredients that have lead to the success of Pro Dive Cairns. Great facilities and experienced management are only one part of the story. A spectacular diving experience is also guaranteed, and Pro Dive Cairns own exclusive moorings on the most easterly edge of the outer Great Barrier Reef to ensure spectacular, uncrowded and unspoilt recreational diving. The Pro Dive Cairns team of professionals have been chosen for their wealth of experience in the diving industry, and their passion and respect for The Great Barrier Reef. They regularly experience many of the diving options available from Tropical North Queensland and therefore can arrange any type of diving available, or required, including Learn To Dive courses, 1 day dive trips, and extended live-aboard cruises, at a range of Great Barrier Reef locations such as Ribbon Reefs, Cod Hole and the Coral Sea. Pro Dive Cairns has gained an excellent reputation internationally and through its successes has been able to hold its position as the most respected and professional Diver Training Centre in Tropical North Queensland.
