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.

My friend and I went SCUBA diving, but I lobster and never flounder.

Just came back from a 3 day / 2 night trip to finish my open water scuba certification! Except for the weather, everything was excellent. Special shout outs to my instructor Lisa who made me feel comfortable and safe in the choppy water and to Kevin who was hilarious and who kept the group in good spirits during briefings and announcements. Would highly recommend!

Great operation, good value!

We had a great diving trip with Pro Dive Cairns. We did not book directly with them so pre trip arrangement was not too smooth, but actual trip itself was very good. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Food prepared by hard working chef were all great. All the dives are efficiently run and well explained. Still great corals and many fish.

Incredible

Honestly went out on a week of rough weather, big winds and swell. It was definitely not for the faint of heart for this particular week of weather. But the crew were just awesome and made such an impact on having the great experience we did. Tim the cook was brilliant, we had so much fresh and tasty food everyday. Matthew, Pedro, Martin and Michael had amazing expertise and made our diving experiences incredible. And the skipper Jordan and first mate Caro did an incredible job keeping us safe and in the best positions given the crazy weather. Not to mention taking us to gorgeous dive and snorkel spots. Whilst we didn't see many minke whales it was an experience we will never forget and we cannot wait to come back! Thankyou again to the amazing team 😊
