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.

Unquestionably, a must-do bucket list activity (with Pro Dive Cairns).Knowledgable team, thoughtful pick ups and drop offs during lessons, and friendly staff all the way. The lessons were hands-on and very informative with everyone's safety in mind. Such a cool experience, you really don't want to take any chances. Five star rated for a reason! Whoop Whoo, Yip Yip! Till next time!Thank you, Pro Dive Cairns!

Once of a lifetime experience scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef! Seamless booking experience and pre trip planning and communication were great. We booked a 3 day/2night liveaboard and did our open water certification on the trip (we did the pool/classroom portion previously in the US). The boat was spacious and we were very well fed (thanks to Sam for providing great meals throughout the entire journey!). Got our open water certification with our instructor Lisa who was patient with us and provided great feedback throughout the trip. We felt safe on all the dives (we did 8 in total) and got informative pre dive briefings from our dive master Kevin who was personable and friendly and did a great job keeping us on schedule to see the most amount of areas and diving spots but also safe. Saw beautiful reefs and landscapes! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit Cairns/Great Barrier Reef!

One of the best experiences of my life!!!I did the 5 day open water course and liveaboard trip. The instructor, Kevin was fantastic. Knowledge and safety presented with a sense of humour. Small class of 5 new divers was the perfect size and we all became great friends.The boat was very well equipped, the food was good, and the crew were amazing. And most importantly the diving was incredible.So well organised and enjoyable.
