Crew was awesome, waters were beautiful, snorkeling was amazing. I was supposed to do intro dives but because I have asthma I was unable to. The crew was very helpful with it all. They allowed me to get a partial refund since I didn’t do the dives. They showed me how to get approved for future trips. Overall very helpful and I appreciated their help. Everyone was having an amazing time, the camera man got some insane shots. 10/10 loved it. Will definitely do the diving next time!

Wonderful experience aboard the Silver Sonic to the Great Barrier Reef. Boat was clean but too cold in the forward cabin. The entire Crew, especially our Captain, were very friendly, engaging, and helpful. The food was delicious with lots of options. Our dive with Alex was amazing and highly recommend.
