    Loved this experience, third visit to the reef and was the best one yet (even with the windy conditions and super moon low tide making for a bouncy ride). Jeff and Harry were a hoot and the two women on the bar were great too 😊

    Our family had an absolutely amazing experience! We did 2 introductory dives, which I highly recommend. As first timers, it took the first dive for everyone to feel confident under water so our second dive was incredible! Daan was our amazing dive instructor…he was patient and worked diligently to make sure we enjoyed our dives!

    Fantastic day out so much fun and such a fun and professional crew. Best reef cruise I have been on!

    What a wonderful experience, thank you to Jeff, Emma and the team you truely went above and beyond to make everyone’s day a memorable one. I would highly recommend them. Our highlight was seeing a green turtle with lots of colourful fish, beautiful coral at the 3 dives

    I did the scuba dive as a first time diver, I was given concise instructions prior to the dive. a My instructor ( Emma ) ensured I was confident and showed me how to pressurise on decent and showed me along the the reef. Pointing out corals and fish along the way. The lunch was great and enough to fill me up after a big day of swimming. I enjoyed the experience and didn’t feel like cattle being hurried at all. We also were given a great explanation of the marine life and formation of the Great Barrier Reef. 100% recommend

    Really well organized trip, saw many beautiful fish, and the staff on board were extremely helpful and kind.

  • 30-Jul-2023

    The staff, the boat, the equipment, the meals…everything was great! The staff was super welcoming and very knowledgeable. Each of the the three dive spots offered a different experience, Another bonus was everything running on time, down to the minute. It was also one of the smaller boats, so the amount of people snorkeling alongside you was not overwhelming. Would definitely recommend!

    I'm not one to usually leave reviews, but I wanted to give thanks to the Silversonic crew. My partner had pretty bad sea sickness for most of the trip, and the whole team were very caring and kind to her. They showed genuine concern, and she eventually felt well enough to snorkel on the last stop, so we still had a good experience and view the reef.

    Outstanding overall experience. Amazing vessel, sights and crew was especially helpful with all aspects of trip (in water and preventing sea sickness with rough currents). Highly recommend.

    The 1.5hr ride out the day we went was super rough and several people got sick. Take Dramamine! The lunch was really good. I have dietary restrictions and they made up a plate ahead of time for me that was dairy and gluten free which was great. They provide sting suits which helped keep you warm a little. It was cold both on the boat and the water. Best reef I have ever been too (compared to Hawaii, and numerous Caribbean islands).
