Silversonic Outer Barrier Reef Snorkelling and Diving Adventure
Get set for an exhilarating day of fun, discovery and adventure with Silversonic, diving and snorkelling the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef. Visiting 3 different reef environments in one day, this is the perfect day for those that seek adventure.
Explore three spectacular and exclusive sites at the world-famous Agincourt ribbon reefs, specially chosen for their vibrant marine life and dazzling coral gardens. Whether you’re snorkelling or diving, these Outer Great Barrier Reef locations promise an underwater experience you’ll never forget.
Spend over five hours at the reef with unlimited snorkelling or up to three incredible dives, depending on your chosen ticket. Cruise in style aboard Silversonic, where a welcoming crew makes sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. A spacious submerged platform gives you easy access to the water, while large sun decks invite you to relax and take in the views.
Between reef stops, refresh with freshwater showers and changing rooms, or sip a drink from the licensed bar as you swap reef stories on your return journey.
