Duration Full Day Tour
Port Douglas
The Cruise
Silversonic is a new addition to the Port Douglas Fleet having been newly built in Tasmania. This luxury vessel sets a new benchmark in spacious vessel design and practical dive and snorkel facilities encompassing a semi submerged aft platform with complete rear deck access. Cruising at 30 knots and delivering two comfortable interior levels of seating, this vessel is a passengers dream for their once in a lifetime adventure. Here you will travel out to the Agincourt Reef System, the most northern, outer edge reef destination reached by a day operator. If this is your only trip to the reef, you will be enjoying three different environments in the one day, enabling three different types of dives over different reef locations.
Silversonic’s crew are committed to ensuring all divers and snorkellers are provided with the latest equipment to compliment your reef experience. The entire vessel has been fitted with brand new dive and snorkel equipment.
Due to Silversonic being the fastest dive vessel traveling to Agincourt Reef out of the Port Douglas marina, this allows Silversonic to enjoy more time at the outer edge, up to five hours over the three different sites. Silversonic's spacious design and smooth operation format allows for both Snorkellers and Divers to interact without either activity interupting the other.
With the unique roaming permit that Silversonic retains, it allows the Skipper to moor the vessel at the 3 best sites for the conditions, water clarity and marine life available to the passengers on your day of travel.
A trained marine interpreter will give you a thoroughly informative coral and marine life briefing before conducting a 30-40 minute interactive expedition over shallow reef formations discussing throughout the tour what is observed by the passengers. All dive prices include professional dive guides to assist
Upon departure a gourmet focaccia breakfast is laid out in the saloon for passengers to ensure they have all the energy you need to get you through till lunch. Lunch is a delectable smorgasbord providing a range of seafood's, including king prawns and octopus, hot curries, fresh garden and pasta salads and soups to warm the cockles of the soul throughout the winter months. The vessel has four freshwater showers available onboard, a great asset for passengers wanting to wash off after your salty adventure before the journey home.
Even though the vessel is surveyed for 130 passengers, Silversonic will only carry approximately 80 passengers maximum, this ensures; a passenger/staff ratio of at least 1 staff member to every 8 passengers and that passengers enjoy an intimate day and are catered for in every way.
