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.

First time noob obtaining open water PADI

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!

Would come back in a heartbeat

We had a FANTASTIC time with Pro Dive! Friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff made the experience feel safe, relaxed and fun.We are certified divers but had not been diving for a few years. It was nice being able to go with a guide for our first dive. Then we were able to explore with just our buddies at our own pace.The dive sites were great and full of life! I have already recommended Pro Dive Cairns to friends and family and would pick them again next time we come to Cairns!

FABULOUS!!!!

Wonderful Experience and fantastic Crew and Dive Masters. Minkie Whale Experience was out of this world. I completed my Advanced open water dive cert and Nitrox Cert on this trip. Flo and Pedro were fantastic! Food was sensational! It definitely was a Eat Sleep Dive Trip! Relaxing and exhilarating all in one! Would highly recommend!
