Pro Dive Cairns and Deep Sea Divers Den are two of Cairns’ most experienced PADI learn to scuba dive centres.

In the same year, Pro Dive Cairns reinforced their commitment to providing learn to scuba dive students with the best facilities, by investing $2 million in their training centre.

Rod Punshon, Managing Director of Pro Dive Cairns (and all round nice bloke), is extremely proud of the company’s achievements and ongoing operations.

“The fact that so many people have chosen Pro Dive Cairns to teach them to dive or take them diving on the Great Barrier Reef is very satisfying and reflects our ongoing philosophy of ‘quality over quantity’ and a commitment and dedication to providing the best possible dive education and liveaboard dive trips over many years”.

Deep Sea Divers Den is another Cairns learn to dive centre notching up international achievements, issuing their 100,000 PADI certification last year.

Owner and director of Deep Sea Divers Den Tony Physick said: “Along with all my staff, I am extremely proud to have reached this milestone. I believe that this huge achievement is due to the consistent level of service, professionalism and dedication that all the staff at Deep Sea Divers Den has put in during the 30 plus years that we have been operating”.

Both Pro Dive Cairns and Deep Sea Divers Den are rated as PADI 5 Star Development Centres and PADI Asia Pacific Marketing Manager Danny Dwyer said both offered professional learn to scuba dive courses, as well as advanced and instructor courses.

“We applaud Pro Dive Cairns’ commitment to teaching safe and responsible dive courses as their first priority. Pro Dive Cairns offers its customers a world class training facility, retail store and dive vessels which has obviously proved very popular with visitors to the Great Barrier Reef looking for comfort and quality,” he said.

On Deep Sea Divers Den: “Over the past 20 years Deep Sea Divers Den has received numerous awards from PADI including the ‘Outstanding contribution to diver education’, the ‘Outstanding contribution to customer service’ and the ‘Outstanding contribution toward Instructor Development’ awards. They have consistently shown a very high standard of diver education and customer service which is why more than 100,000 students have taken their PADI course with this company”.
