silversonic diving day trip
Departing daily from Port Douglas. When you step aboard the ultramodern Silversonic, you are set for an exhilarating day of fun, discovery, and adventure in the natural wonderland of The Great Barrier Reef. You'll have access to explore three stunning and exclusive reef sites at the renowned Agincourt ribbon reefs, each chosen for visual and ecological diversity for your dive and snorkel adventures.
Silversonic is an ultra-modern 29-metre catamaran that visits the outer edge reef locations in the Agincourt Reef complex, and offers superb style and comfort for the journey. Cruising to the reef on Port Douglas' fastest vessel, you'll enjoy over five hours exploring the delights of The Great Barrier Reef. Silversonic's ride control system ensures your trip is super smooth, even when travelling at speeds of up to 32 knots.
The experienced and knowledgeable crew will select 3 sites out of more than 35 exclusive locations on Agincourt Reef, choosing the best sites on the day according to the weather conditions - you won't find any other operator on The Great Barrier Reef who has that many sites to choose from!
The vessel is well equipped for all levels of diving and snorkelling. Certified divers have the option to do up to three dives, and introductory divers can enjoy up to two dives, with no experience required. If you are a snorkeller, you are assured plenty of diversity with three different snorkel locations to explore. In between water activities, passengers can relax on the spacious sundecks overlooking the Great Barrier Reef.
The crew onboard will ensure you have all you need to make the most of your day, which includes full bar facilities, a hot and cold tropical buffet lunch, fresh water showers, and morning and afternoon tea.
Please Note: some medical conditions may prevent you diving and you will be required to complete a waiver and medical statement prior to the trip. If you have recently/continue to suffer from an illness or condition that may affect your dive fitness, or are currently taking any prescription medication, you will need to consult a doctor for a 'fit to dive' medical certificate.

Tripadvisor Reviews
Brisbane, Australia
Went on the 3-day/night liveaboard trip to the Ribbon reefs with a group of members of my dive club. Staff on the trip could not have been better in ensuring a safe and interesting/varied and comfortable trip (as best they could given the 30+ knot winds!!)Very marine-safe organisation. Great and plentiful food. Plenty of space on the dive deck. Equipment provided appeared to be very good quality, for those without own gear.definitely would go again!

I went to proDive with a referral to get my open water certification. My instructor Mollie was great and she went out of her way to make sure I did all the requirements correctly and she got me to relax. The rest of the crew was also grest Marius cooked some great food. Only issue I had was that I booked through prodive which is different than prodive Cairns so so of my information sent from pro dive (not Cairns)was wrong so if you are booking make sure you book through ProDive Cairns.

We had the most incredible time at our three day tour to Great barrier reef. We were snorkling at different locations around great barrier reef and living on the boat. We came out to the reef where no other boats were at the time and we didn't feel like tourists at all. The staff, the other participants and the surrounding were great! The food was so delicious and we we're incredible spoiled the entire trip. We were snorkling in the night with reef sharks, during the day with so many pretty fishes, corals and with a big sea turtle. We couldn't ask for more - it has been so awesome and we will recommend it to everyone we know. Thanks to the staff and the other participants for an incredible experience! :-)
