You need to be fairly competent at swimming to go on this trip. Because you come off the back of the boat, you might be better to go on one that stops at a pontoon. It is a fantastic company though

Yes 100%, they won’t let you dive without an instructor

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your question. On any given day, Silverswift will visit three dive sites within the same reef system. Very occasionally, the skipper will move between reefs however, this is uncommon as the travel eats into snorkel/dive time. Silverswift usually travels to Milln or Flynn Reef, although occasionally we might stop at Thetford or Pellowe Reef. There is more information about this on the Silverseries website. The decision for which Reef and dive sites will be visited is made each day by the skipper and dive supervisor and takes into account factors such as the weather, passenger numbers and other vessels which may be using moorings. We hope this helps to answer your questions!

Hi, No. It was all very adult orientated with divers who have a recognised diving certification. But not necessarily with lots of diving experience. They may be other options that I am not aware of though. One trip I did where it is worth looking in to as it may see toddlers, is a trip to Green Island. Hope you find something suitable.

You should have received a cd when you got off the boat. Contact the company directly. You will probably be able to download the picture off of the net.

Me olvidaba de algo, si tu viaje en avion sale dentro de las 12 o 24 hs siguientes creo que no podes bucear (por el tema de las diferencias de presion que sufre tu organismo). Tenelo en cuenta.

If you spend a little more and take the Silver Swift they will take you to the outer reef, once there you should go expecting to see a lot of very colourful fish and amazing coral. There are also schools of large fish that congregate under the dive boat. Some people saw a sea turtle, I didn't, but I did get to float around with a massive Maori Wrass. I'm going back in October for two more days on the reef. I live 3000kms away from Cairns so it's a pretty big deal for me to go out and do this again. Bring a water proof action cam if you have one.

>>Very bad(left-5.5,Right-6.00) They do not have half perscriptions. Nor do they have different perscriptions for either eye. They will have +1.00, +2.00, +3.00. up to I think +5.00 for both eyes . You can buy a good mask tailored to your prescription on Amazon, at your optometrist or a dive shop. Between $60 and $100 depending on where you buy the mask. It is worth spending the money. You will be glad you did.

Here is some contact information. We booked, but did not pay until we were there the day before. I booked our scube/snorkel through the web and asked about food allergies. TripAdvisor won't let me post the email address. Look up greatadventures australia on the web.
