I went diving with Silverswift and had a great time! The ride out to the reef was really rough. The staff warned us, and even though I took some meds, I still, well, didn't arrive at the reef with my breakfast :-( But, I'm prone to seasickness, so knew that was likely. Once we arrived, the water was much more... More

The boat was very nice. Very well trained and happy staff. The dive sights selected were great and the organisation on the dive deck was second to none. The only let down is the "afternoon tea" was just biscuits and cheese.. Nothing flash. Lunch was great though:)

The best boat, stunning dive sites, great equipment, top nosh (food) and perfect hosts.... What more could one possibly ask for ? I will be doing the other Silver Series boat in the near future simply because I enjoyed this trip so much On a side note I found the three dives a little intensive so would recommend doing the...

We had a great day on Silverswift and were extremely well looked after by our dive guide Sean and the rest of the crew. The boat was very, very comfortable and well equipped. The multiple recommendations to take seasickness medication were also appreciated! Two out of three of the dive sites were stunning, despite overcast conditions. I've been on several... More

Just come back from a dive on the Great Barrier Reef with Silverswift. Had an amazing tie and the staff were excellent (thanks especially to Sam and Isao). Felt really safe in their hands and would highly recommend to travel with them.

We recently joined Silverswift on a diving and snorkling experience - outstanding. The staff and diving personnel were outstanding. Thank you for a great day out on the Great Barrier Reef.

I did two boat tours to the Great Barrier Reaf and I really enjoyed this! You have the opportunity to snorkel and dive by your own and do an introductory scuba-diving guided tour in groups of 4 people per diving instructor. After the first dive you have the opportunity to book a second dive for an extra fee with the... More

We dove on April 5th. I wasn't sure what to think being a new to diving (5 years now, 30 dives) but not super experienced as I still like a guide to show you around the reefs....since some of the reviews said this is a tough boat for experienced divers. Well, pleasantly and wonderfully surprised. Our guide Chris put us... More

This was a great day trip to the outer reef from Cairns with plenty of time for snorkelling or diving at 3 different sites (I hear many of the day trips only go to 2 sites). The boat was relatively small (60-70 people) - not too crowded - and was a great environment to get chatting to other travellers onboard... More

I loved this tour! It was pricey.. but that's Australia for you AND keeping in mind, the Great Barrier Reef is a Wonder of the World and one of the most naturally stunning experiences I've ever had with marine Life. The guys and girls who run the ship (so to speak) were absolutely thorough, friendly and the most knowledgable tour-guides... More
