Cairns Dive Centre 3 Day Ocean Referral

Cairns Dive CentreCairns Dive Centre (CDC) is an SSI Accredited training facility and has been in operation for many years. With over 60 years combined experience, the team at Cairns Dive Centre can help you with any aspect of your diving. At CDC, the emphasis is on increased training in actual dive conditions.

A referral dive course is a course in which you conduct your pool and theory training with one dive school and your 4 open water training dives with another. This way, you can complete the first part, the pool and theory training, at home in your spare time so you don’t have to spend as much time learning to dive once you start your holiday.

The referral course is held onboard Cairns Dive Centre’s 3 day 2 night liveaboard trip. As Cairns Dive Centre is an SSI training facility, you need to make sure that you have done your initial open water training with an SSI training facility.

Their liveaboard boat, the Kangaroo Explorer, is permanently moored on the outer reef and they use their smaller day vessel, Sunkist, to transfer you to and from the Kangaroo Explorer. The cabins onboard are double, twin and multi-share and each cabin has its own private ensuite.
