The fastest cat to the Great Barrier Reef - brand-new luxury!! 
Sleek, smooth and sun-kissed, Silversonic is ready to explore, eager to whisk
you away for a day of adventure with others who seek the thrill of discovery.
Silversonic is a brand-new luxury catamaran designed for water based adventure
activities. It can take up to 80 passengers and usually has more snorkellers than
divers on board. Silversonic is the fastest trip out to the reef, with a maximim
speed of 32 knots. She is stable and offers a very good compromise for diver/non-diver
groups.
Dive Sites
Careful consideration is taken by the Silversonic
team when choosing the reef sites during the day. The time of the year, weather,
tides, water clarity and the abundance of marine life, all impact on the choice
of location for the day.
There is a multitude of marine life at Agincourt Reef from tiny iridescent fish
seeking shelter in their coral homes to massive giant clams weighing up to 200kg
(440lbs). Perhaps you will see a small harmless reef shark or a boulder coral
hundreds of years old.
Whether you are diving or snorkelling, experienced
or a novice, the Silversonic crew with their 25 years of combined experience will
show you the best there is to see.

Features
- Snorkelling: Visit spectacular Agincourt reef at the very edge
of the Great Barrier Reef and spend a leisurely five hours at play amongst the
colourful coral and marine life. All your snorkelling gear is provided. So there
is nothing to hold you back!
- Introductory Diving: Discover scuba
diving. Diving is for everyone... including those who have never dived before.
While snorkelling allows you to view fish and coral from above the reef, diving
allows you to experience the underwater world close up, explore the coral and
swimming with the fish. If this is your only chance to see the Great Barrier Reef,
make sure you experience all you can by diving it. We have been taking people
to the reef for over 18 years and all Dive Instructors are professionally qualified
PADI Instructors. There is still plenty of time to enjoy all other activities
on board with family and friends. Please note a medical form must be completed
on board.
- Certified Diving: Certified divers can enjoy up to three
dives, with introductory divers able to do a second dive if they choose. Snorkellers
can explore spectacular coral formations and underwater gardens teeming with vibrantly
coloured marine creatures. The locations vary with the conditions, however each
site is chosen for visual impact, ecological diversity and the challenge of discovery.
