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.

Tripadvisor Reviews
I had an awesome time on my 3-day 2-night livaboard with ProDive. I am an advanced open water diver but had never done an unguided dive before this trip and was a little nervous. There was absolutely no need to be nervous, the crew and instructors on board were very thorough, gave detailed briefings and navigational directions, checked all equipment, were very focused on safety (always logging dive times and depths and with a dedicated lookout on board), answered all questions, and even offered a guide on the night dives. I met a lovely group of divers on board and got on very well with the entire crew. The dive sites were beautiful, food on board was delicious, and overall this was a fantastic experience. I will definitely be back for another trip!

Incredible trip! I had an amazing experience on the 5 day certification liveaboard with Pro Dive. My instructor Flo was so patient and made me feel calm and confident in the water from day one. She explained everything clearly and is a brilliantly instructor! The crew on board were so on it and supportive, there was a great atmosphere on the boat the whole time. The food was delicious too, we were all very well looked after! I’d highly recommend Pro Dive to anyone looking to get certified.

I just spent 3 days/2 nights on ProDive3 and Ocean Quest, both liveaboard dive boats on the Great Barrier Reef operating out of Cairns. I will compare my experience and impressions of the two.ProDive offered the better dive sites with healthier coral. ProDive also offered longer dive times - typically 60 minutes versus 50 minutes on Ocean Quest. Both boats want divers to return to surface with 1/4 tank of air/NOx. Because all dives were shallow, that was never restrictive on me or my (experienced) buddy. It also made nitrox unnecessary.ProDive gave detailed pre-dive briefings, including compass headings for self navigation. Ocean Quest gave less self navigation info; instead it offered dive guides at an additional cost of $20 per diver per dive, payable daily. The Ocean Quest is a larger boat, and it's cabins have individual heads. There is also much more communal space to sprawl on Ocean Quest. I preferred the food on ProDive; however, it was also good on Ocean Quest. ProDive was BYO beer, wine, etc. Ocean Quest sells beer & wine, payable daily. Neither boat had meatloaf on Wednesday.I would return to dive with ProDive, but not with Ocean Quest. First, ProDive honored it's advertised commitment of shuttle from/to my lodging, while Ocean Quest (Divers Den) did not. Second, the tone on Ocean Quest was set by strict rules compliance, seemingly dictated from the top down. "Be Afraid" is the message I got. On ProDive, the message I heard was "Smile". Both were safe boats, however ProDive was much more chill ... and fun.
