The whole crew onboard the Silversonic was fantastic. Overall, this was a great experience and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef.
Professionally handled but leans toward being impersonal

Everything is handled professionally but because it is a large boat, there are a lot of people to process. They did a nice job but it is not a very personal experience.
Awesome Experience with great crew

The tour with Silversonic was excellent. Two people on our party went snorkeling and had a great time. The third person did an Introductory Dive with Kevin which was an excellent time. Kevin was an excellent instructor making the process fun and easy.
