Silverswift - Great Barrier Reef

The Night Dive
Thursday, June 17, 2010

We’re delighted to announce the launch of an exciting new Night Dive, designed for small groups of adventure-seeking certified divers.

This is Cairns only night dive excursion, departing at 5.30pm to the Outer Reef and returning at 11.15pm. Launching on Thursday 1 July, The Night Dive will initially be conducted each Thursday, subject to weather conditions.

Discover a new kind of night life and dimension to the Great Barrier Reef!
Travelling aboard the luxurious, custom-designed Silverswift, certified divers can feel the adrenaline rush with two fully guided night dives with our experienced dive masters.

It’s a different world at night! After the sun goes down, there’s a whole new cast of creatures to discover... The lionfish are prowling, the reef sharks are cruising, the corals are feeding and the parrotfish are tucked away in their bubbles for a safe night...

Dive pristine coral reefs…
Located on the outer reef, Norman Reef is approximately 60nm from Cairns and boasts some of the region’s most pristine coral reefs and prolific marine biodiversity.

While adventure is high down under, safety is assured with our highly qualified crew and The Night Dive’s base from the Great Adventures’ Norman Reef platform.

In between dives, divers will enjoy a hearty soup to keep energy levels up for their next underwater adventure, while a sumptuous hot dinner awaits after the two exhilarating night dives.

For divers travelling with non-diving companions, they too can join in the excitement as a “topside” observer, view from the underwater observatory and take in the spectacular sunset and dine on the reef too!

The Night Dive offers certified divers an extraordinary and highly personal diving experience on the Great Barrier Reef.

RAVE REVIEWS FOR SILVERSWIFT
Thursday, September 06, 2007

In service since December 2006, the brand new 29m Silver Series dive and snorkel vessel, Silverswift is proving a star performer in the Cairns market. Custom-built at a cost of $3.5million, she is the only Cairns day dive vessel to visit 3 sites daily and taking just 60 minutes to reach the outer reef, is the fastest. This means more time for aquatic adventures! Like her identical sister ship based in Port Douglas, Silversonic, she features a state-of-the-art ride control system for improved passenger comfort. These are the only two vessels in the region with this patented ride control system.
