You will have over 5 hours at the reef sites combined.

All of the&nbsp;reef sites offer great ecological diversity and an abundance of marine life. Some of the commonly seen marine life includes turtles, anemonefish (Nemo), lionfish, cuttlefish, moray eels and reef sharks.

Lycra suits are available on board to reduce the possibility of stings and irritations while also offering protection from the sun.

&nbsp;

At certain times of the year (generally November &ndash; April), jellyfish, commonly called marine stingers, can affect the seas of Northern Australia. Most jellyfish are harmless to people, however certain varieties may cause a serious reaction. Incidents involving serious marine stings in this area are extremely rare. The crew are conscious of the danger of marine stingers and will take appropriate steps to ensure your protection if they believe conditions are such that there is a possibility of encountering these creatures.

Hopefully not. Silversonic has state-of-the-art ride control systems to ensure a smoother journey. Where there is motion, however, whether in a car, bus, plane or boat, some people will suffer from motion sickness. Motion sickness medication is available onboard for purchase. Ginger tablets are available free onboard as a natural alternative.

Standard masks magnify objects underwater by 25%, however, prescription masks are also available ranging from -2 to -7 in strength. Prescription masks are available at no extra charge.

Yes, any age is welcome accompanied by an adult, however, The Operator highly recommends that children be confident in the water. Babysitting facilities are not available onboard. The minimum age for scuba diving is 12 yrs.

A day with Silversonic is all about being in the water and experiencing the magical underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. It&rsquo;s exciting, exotic and breathtaking!

&nbsp;

With roaming permits and remote sites, you&rsquo;ll be able to snorkel three uniquely different and ecologically diverse reef sites, each chosen to suit the day&rsquo;s conditions. As coral relies on sunlight for growth, some of the best snorkelling is in the shallow areas around the reef top.

&nbsp;

Enjoy an included guided snorkel tour, snorkel briefs at each reef site and lifeguard snorkel officers supervising. You&rsquo;ll be able to explore the underwater delights in complete safety. Access to the water is so easy with&nbsp;large submerged platforms from the back decks.

&nbsp;

If you haven&rsquo;t snorkelled before, that&rsquo;s ok! The crew will be on hand to give you instruction,&nbsp;but they do recommend the ability to swim, and fairly good fitness as snorkelling can be a strenuous activity. Flotation devices and buoyancy vests are available&nbsp;on board if needed. Prescription masks are also available at no extra cost.

&nbsp;

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.

&nbsp;

In between water activities, relax on the sundecks or in the air-conditioned lounges, and of course, enjoy a delicious hot and cold buffet&nbsp;lunch for hungry adventurers! You&#39;ll also indulge in&nbsp;a scrumptious morning tea&nbsp;upon boarding, including focaccias, muffins/cake selection is served, as well as afternoon tea cakes and cheese and biscuits on the homeward journey.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h4>Dive Sites</h4>

&nbsp;

Silversonic visits a selection of over 35 stunning &amp; exclusive World Heritage reef sites at the Agincourt reefs at the very outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Here, special reefs known as &lsquo;ribbons&rsquo; run parallel to the Continental Shelf. Adjacent to the Coral Sea trench, these ribbon reefs are recognised as the most pristine eco-systems in the reef&rsquo;s environment. Clear water provides the best possible underwater visibility, encourages rich coral growth and supports spectacular marine life.

&nbsp;

<h4>Agincourt Reef 1</h4>

&nbsp;

The Agincourt reefs are a cluster of distinctively separate reefs. Located at the southern end of the reefs chain, Agincourt Reef 1 showcases rich coral diversity and marine life.

&nbsp;

<h4>Agincourt Reef 2</h4>

&nbsp;

From the stunning Nursery Bommie, regarded as one of the best dive sites in the region, to wall diving at Izzy&rsquo;s Wall, there are several&nbsp;amazing sites Silversonic visits at Agincourt Reef 2.

&nbsp;

<h4>Agincourt Reef 3</h4>

&nbsp;

From sandy lagoons littered with coral pinnacles and an old fishing boat wreck at the aptly named &ldquo;Wreck&rdquo; site to the thrill of diving and snorkelling along a reef wall with numerous small grottos at The Gap, there&#39;s plenty of spectacular marine life and excitement at&nbsp;Agincourt Reef 3.

&nbsp;

<h4>Agincourt Reef 4</h4>

&nbsp;

Located at the Northern end of the Agincourt reef chain, Agincourt Reef 4 showcases a rich tapestry of coral and marine diversity. Experience the pretty garden site of The Three Sisters with its three prominent coral bommies to the stunning patch reef with swim-throughs at The Chapel.&nbsp;
