Choose Quicksilver! - Diving the GBR has been on our bucket list and we are so glad we chose to go with Quicksilver. It is an extremely run well business - from the booking experience to the welcome aboard to having all the equipment we needed onboard and plenty of staff to help us in and out of our gear. Even a wonderful hot lunch was included. As experienced certified divers, we were worried that on a large boat that served different interests we might be tripping over snorkelers or put in groups with new divers who might require all of the dive master's attention or disrupt the flow of the dives. Thankfully, that wasn't the case at all. Gordon guided only us and and a few other experienced divers on our own route pointing out clown fish, sharks, giant clams and so much more along the way. He made us laugh a lot as well while setting up and during our surface intervals.

Fabulous!! - Amazing snorkeling in 3 different locations with no other tour groups or boats. We lucked out with the weather being that it was January so it was a perfect day. Equipment was good quality for a tour company, stinger suits good too. Plenty of food provided with snacks and buffet which is great after lots of swimming. Staff were great and super helpful and friendly. Would recommend to anyone and do it again if I’m ever heading back to the GBR.

Don't miss this!! - Bucket list trip for sure! The boat was extremely well appointed and comfortable. Staff was friendly and fun. Moni was our dive instructor for our small introductory dive group and she was AMAZING!! So informative and calm. I can't say enough great things about her and her ability to manage 4 new scuba divers under water! The reef was even better than I anticipated. This is a can't miss excursion!

Barrier reef at its best! - One of the best boats weve been on and weve been on loads throughout the world! Plenty of friendly staff, very knowledgeable, lets you go off on a buddy system to explore the reefs and tell you exactly where the best spots are! Full catering on board with topnotch spread o cold meat, prawns salad fruit, hot meal of beef ! Excellent photographer on board with reasonably priced pics to buy! We saw turtles sharks so many fish, coral is outstandingly beautiful and colourful and sooooo big! Our diving instructor was so good! Simon youve sold the kids to do their padi courses! Such a lovely day!
