Make sure you go out to the Agincourt Reef and experience snorkelling or scuba diving on one of the treasures on this planet. I would recommend Silversonic for your experience.

Great Barrier Reef

Reviewed By KarenM1_10

We were on a tour provided by Quicksilver Cruises. The day was fantastic! The boat trip to the Reef was 1-1/2 hours each way and then we spent around 3-1/2 hours at the Reef. Quicksilver provided all the equipment for a fun day as well as a very good buffet lunch. There was plenty to keep us busy at the Reef and we thoroughly enjoyed our time snorkeling and riding on the semi-submersible. The semi-submersible went a little further away from the area where the boat and barge were located in order for us to view more of the Reef.

Norman Reef

Reviewed By Dodgy-Davey - Perth, Australia

Did 2x scuba dives here recently What struck me straight away was the diversity in corals - there is a healthy mix of soft and hard corals - all looking quite pristine with no signs of bleaching A few big fish around also Definitely worth the day trip out here
