In an Australian first, Pro Dive Cairns has become the first dive operator in the country to certify 190,000 PADI divers.

To mark the occasion, PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors), the world’s largest diver training organisation, presented Pro Dive Cairns with a commemorative plaque, recognising the company's outstanding contribution to global dive education and recreational scuba diving.

Commenting on the milestone, Quicksilver Group Managing Director, Tony Baker said, “We are 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.”

PADI Asia Pacific Vice President Thomas Knedlik congratulated the Pro Dive Cairns team on their outstanding achievement. "The entire PADI team is thrilled to celebrate this remarkable milestone with Pro Dive Cairns, a globally recognised leader in diver training,"

"With 190,000 PADI certifications issued, Pro Dive Cairns joins an elite group of dive operators worldwide. While this is certainly an impressive number of certifications issued, what truly sets Pro Dive Cairns apart is their unwavering commitment to diver safety, quality education, and professionalism. Our two companies have enjoyed a strong and successful partnership for 42 years, and we look forward to continued success together," Mr Knedlik added.

Pro Dive Cairns General Manager, Arek Mszyca, echoed the sentiment, highlighting the strength of the company’s long-standing relationship with PADI. “This milestone is a reflection of our long partnership 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.”
