3.00We had rough seas on the ride out so only 2 dive sites were used and they were only 100 yards apart so the diving was very similar
brilliant experience

5.00AMAZING TRIP! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Me and my friend booked with Silverswift as we heard it’s the best company for Great Barrier Reef diving and snorkelling, and it definitely lived up to our expectations!! The whole day was very well organised. Even though it was full-on it did not feel rushed or chaotic. We went to 3 different locations of the reef and had over 3 hours in total snorkelling and diving. It was our first time scuba diving, the instructors were so patient and explained the whole process really clearly. We felt so comfortable getting in the water with Paul (our amazing instructor!). Paul pointed out the wildlife while we were diving - we were so close to the turtles it was amazing! At one point my ears were hurting and I signalled to Paul and he was very attentive and helped me. At the 3 locations we saw so much wildlife including turtles, giant clams, a reef shark, so many different fishes and beautiful corals. It was so amazing and we cannot recommend it enough! There was a marine biologist, Jess, on board who answered our questions about the different fishes we saw :) Also the lunch included on board was delicious and we got teas and coffee and cake in the afternoon! It was one of the best, if not THE best, trip we have done whilst travelling the East Coast. We highly recommend booking this trip!
Great experience on this...

5.00Great experience on this boat. It was run very well and is fast so getting to the reef is quick as you can get there. All the staff were very helpful. The only thing I would complain about is we were diving and got back on board after most for lunch and the buffet was a almost over and out of a few things but still had enough food for us. I would definitely recommend this group for sure.
Great snorkelling experience

Loud staff barking instructions at “barrier reef boat camp”

1.00Staff who are totally uninterested in their job. Started out with ”Vigis”, snorkling guide, barking everyone around, laying down the law for this trip, as if we had arrived at “boot camp”. The feel of the experience is ruined by the staff being rude and un interested. During three snorkeling stops one staff person related to snorkeling was in the water for one of these stops with the snorkelers, the rest were standing around on deck. One guy on the top of the boat was blowing a whistle loudly every 3 minutes at anyone who dared snorkel a little bit away from the designated area, within 75 meters from the boat. Staff could have done this kindly, from the water, if any staff had gone in. So the rest of us could have snorkel and take in the reef and it’s beauty in peace. There was lunch and afternoon coffe/tea included in this excursion, the woman responsible for the food was very rude. For example telling Asian tourists of, for not putting the rice spoon back correctly (why do this?), at afternoon tea she ran out of muffins and cakes and she then acted like this in no way was her problem. She acted as if it was us “the stupid guests fault for not queuing quicker.” We went on another reef excursion yesterday and it was so much better! The reef is fantastic, but do choose a different tour company!
Family fun jewel.

All the staff were brilliant. really good equipment. I felt safe at all times

Amazing Christmas Eve dive!

5.00I joined the dive on Christmas Eve, and it became a truly wonderful memory. The crew were extremely knowledgeable about the ocean, and every single one of them was highly professional. Although there were many guests on board, everything was very well organized, making the experience smooth and enjoyable throughout the entire day. I had a great time from start to finish. I’m also very grateful that you accommodated my special requests, even though they were not easy ones. Thank you, Kenji and the entire crew, for working on Christmas Eve. I’m really looking forward to joining you again in the future.
