Silversonic Port Douglas Diving & Snorkling Adventures

A day with Silversonic and Silverswift is all about being in the water and experiencing the magical underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. It’s exciting, exotic and breathtaking!

With our roaming permits and remote sites, you’ll be able to snorkel three uniquely different and ecologically diverse reef sites, each chosen to suit the day’s conditions. As coral relies on sunlight for growth, some of the best snorkelling is in the shallow areas around the reef top.

With a guided snorkel tour included, snorkel briefs at each reef site and lifeguard snorkel officers supervising, you’ll be able to explore the underwater delights in complete safety. Access to the water is so easy with Silversonic and Silverswift’s large submerged platforms from the back decks.

If you haven’t snorkelled before, that’s ok! Our crew will be on hand to give you instruction but we do recommend the ability to swim and fairly good fitness as snorkelling can be a strenuous activity. Flotation devices and buoyancy vests are available on board if needed. Prescription masks are also available at no extra cost.

To learn more about the marine life around you, make sure you join the guided snorkel tour, as the marine interpreter guides you over shallow coral gardens, pointing out fish and marine life, corals and areas of interest along the way.

It is a wonderful, exciting and indeed memorable experience to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef.

CERTIFIED DIVING

Certified divers can enjoy up to three spectacular dives across three different Great Barrier Reef environments. Explore a range of exciting dive sites, including drift and wall dives, bommies and pinnacles, coral gardens, and swim-throughs. Professional instructors accompany all dives at no extra charge, offering local knowledge and ensuring safety and enjoyment. Dives typically last 40 minutes or more. The warm waters of the Great Barrier Reef provide comfortable diving conditions year-round, teeming with an incredible array of marine life. Remember to present proof of certification.

INTRODUCTORY DIVING

Experience the thrill of scuba diving with an Introductory Dive – no previous experience necessary! Highly skilled instructors will guide you step-by-step, from the dive briefing and equipment introduction to the underwater experience. On the way to the reef, instructors will assess suitability, and you'll complete necessary paperwork, learn diving fundamentals, and watch an instructional video. All equipment is included. Your dive may reach a depth of up to 12 meters and will last around 30 minutes, with your instructor by your side. If you love it, you can opt for a second introductory dive at another site.

After your dive experience, you’ll get a PADI Certificate as a memento of your underwater adventure. This certificate is not a qualification – it is simply a memento of one of the best experiences of your life. To get a recognised qualification you will need to complete a Learn to Dive Course.
