Scuba Diving at Agincourt Ribbon Reef ...
Quicksilver is renowned for its landmark Outer Barrier Reef cruise. Travel by wavepiercer to a reef activity platform situated on the Agincourt ribbon reef system on the edge of Australia’s continental shelf. From here, certified divers can dive away from the platform travelling by tender vessel to exclusive Agincourt reef sites.
Introductory Diving at Agincourt Reef
Diving is for everyone, including those who have never dived before. There is still plenty of time to enjoy all other activities on board with family and friends.
We have been taking people to the reef for over 10 years and all Quicksilver Dive instructors are PADI qualified. Our divers can follow Queensland's only underwater ecotrail, a series of explanatory plaques that can help you learn as you dive. Please note a medical form must be completed on board prior to diving. Multi-lingual Instructors are available on request.
If you’ve never dived before, and would like to experience the magic of SCUBA, Quicksilver offers introductory dives with a highly qualified dive instructor. The only requirement is you are over 12 years, pass the on-board medical questionnaire and participate in our 30 minute dive brief.
Fare - $134 per diver (equipment provided)
Certified Diving at Agincourt Reef
Agincourt Reef, the only ribbon reef accessible to day trips, has a range of ecosystems unique to this region. See the moray eels and barracuda at Nursery Bommie, the clams and coral gardens at Horseshoe Reef or the broken wreckage and giant maori wrasse at the Wreck Site. Our custom designed dive tender will take you to 2 of our 20 different dive sites.
Age restrictions apply - minimum 12 years and maximum 70 years inclusive. Some medical conditions and medications may preclude passengers from scuba diving. Please contact Quicksilver Diving Services for more information to avoid dissapointment.
Scuba diving right at the edge of Australia’s continental shelf is simply spectacular. At these unique ribbon reefs, visibility is excellent and the variety of marine life is exceptional.
Fare - 1 Dive - $92 per diver (equipment provided)
Fare - 2 Dives - $134 per diver (equipment provided)
The Silver Series
Another popular option is to see the stunning exclusive dive locations with Quicksilver's new Silver Series vessels. This option allows the experienced diver to explore an underwater world teeming with exotic marinelife, while non-diving and snorkelling companions participate in platform activities – including the choice of an introductory dive. Some of the commonly seen marine life include turtles, anemone fish (Nemo), lion fish, cuttlefish, moray eels and white and black tip reef sharks.
