Amazing diving record
PRO-DIVE Cairns has made an industry-first achievement to become the first dive operator in the country to certify 190,000 PADI divers.
Established in 1983, Pro-Dive Cairns is regarded as one of Australia’s premier scuba dive school, with a five-star facility and three liveaboard dive boats.
Quicksilver Group managing director Tony Baker said the local dive community was incredibly proud of this achievement.
“The fact that so many people from around the world have chosen Pro Dive Cairns to learn to dive is fantastic and reflects the commitment of the management and staff over many years to provide the very best possible dive education and scuba adventures,” he said.
Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) Asia Pacific vice president Thomas Knedlik congratulated the Pro Dive Cairns team on the achievement.
“The entire PADI team is thrilled to celebrate this remarkable milestone with Pro Dive Cairns, a globally recognised leader in diver training,” he said.
Pro Dive Cairns general manager Arek Mszyca said the achievement highlighted the strength of the company’s long-standing relationship with PADI and “the professionalism of our staff”. “Our reputation as one of the world’s leading diver training centres is built on consistently delivering safe, high-quality and memorable diving experiences,” he said.
