Scuba diving with Silverswift Cairns

We cater to both certified and introductory scuba divers.  As a certified diver, you can experience up to three dive sites.

Our scuba diving instructors accompany all dives at no extra charge.

They have vast local knowledge of all the locations and know all the best drift and dive walls, bommies and pinnacles, coral reef gardens, and swim-throughs.  Certified dives can last up to 40 minutes or more.

As an introductory diver

Silverswift Cairns instructors will be by your side throughout the whole experience.  On your way to the reef, you will fill out a medical questionnaire, and the crew will assess your medical fitness to dive.

The Silverswift Cairns crew will teach you the necessary skills, and once you’re comfortable, you can take the plunge!  All equipment, including wetsuits and prescription masks (if needed), is included in the introductory dive price.
