Diving Adventures at Divers Den, Cairns, Queensland

Amazing experience with Divers Den on Oceanquest- 4 days and 3 nights scuba diving. The staff were absolutely amazing. I struggled to carry my tank and kit up and down the stairs to the dive deck as Im not as mobile as I used to be. A member of the dive team helped me each time. The staff were so friendly and helpful which made the experience fantastic and the diving easy. A very well oiled operation. Of course stunning coral and fish too with turtles and reef sharks. Thanks so much team Divers Den.

We stayed on the liveaboard for two nights and dived for three days. Overall, we felt it offered good value for money, but it is important to know what to expect. A separate day boat takes you out to the liveaboard. Diving from this transfer/day-trip boat could at times feel quite stressful, mainly because space was very limited. Once we were on the liveaboard itself, there was noticeably more room and the overall conditions were better. The diving equipment is quite old, but it was functional. If you are travelling during the cooler months, it is worth noting that only shortie wetsuits are available to borrow. My husband found this a little cold, while I had brought my own wetsuit. The food was good, and the cabin was a decent size. The ensuite bathroom was fine overall, although the floor was constantly wet. A practical tip is to bring some large clothes pegs so you can hang things outside to dry, as clothes and towels dry quite slowly inside. Shower towels are provided, but you need to bring your own towel for diving. We are certified divers, and guides are available if needed. The dive sites were very nice, although we were a little unlucky and spent two of our diving days at the same location. Overall, this liveaboard offers good value for money and a solid diving experience. However, it definitely has more of a backpacker-style atmosphere, so if you are looking for something luxurious or more premium, I would recommend choosing another option.

Their Live Aboard Diving was great. Super friendly staff. Very knowledgeable and helpful dive guides. Super safety conscious with multiple checks to make sure everyone is aboard and safe. Got to dive with instructor Linnea, who was absolutely the best. She was able to finish up my cert but making it feel like a chill and relaxing hangout. Would totally book with Divers Den again and definitely dive with Linnea.

I completed my open water course with Catalina who was a great instructor creating a safe and enjoyable experience. The diversden staff even spent extra time with my friend who struggled to equalise her ears, Allowing her to complete her course at no extra charge. Rooms onboard the ocean quest were clean and included an onsuite. My only critique is the meals on the boat were often cold or look warm however the taste was great.

I had a wonderful time on Ocean Quest during a 5 day/4 night liveaboard! The food onboard was really good, the staff were so great to work with and the experience was out of this world! I’d like to shout out Liam and KK as some of our favorite dive guides! The room we were in was surprisingly roomy. We will definitely consider another trip with Divers Den in the future!
