Quicksilver's high-speed wave-piercing catamaran will take you to a spacious and comfortable platform at the stable, all-weather reef activity platform located at the renowned Agincourt Reef. Agincourt Reef is a magnificent ribbon reef situated on the edge of the Australian continental shelf. Its clear waters nurture abundant coral growth, which in turn sustains countless spectacular marine creatures.
The spacious, double-deck platform, like an island floating in the Coral Sea, is the ideal base for exploring the reef regardless of age, swimming ability, or activity level.
You can snorkel, scuba dive, watch lively fish feeding demonstrations at the underwater observatory, or participate in an informative semi-submersible dive to gain a deeper understanding of this intricate ecosystem.
