Quicksilver: The Decade that was!

5th of February 2020

Ahhhhh, the end of the 2010’s!

It has been a pretty special decade for the Quicksilver Group, as we’ve shared the Reef with celebrities, added to our fleet and put focus into the environment and the restoration of coral.

Not only this, but we’ve been able to share the Reef with a record number of passengers from all across the world, ticking off bucket lists and creating lifelong memories.

If we have been lucky enough to be part of your Great Barrier Reef experience over the past 10 years, thank you for the support! We’ve loved sharing our slice of paradise with you all!

Former Australian World Number 1 and two-time US Open champion, Pat Rafter explored Agincourt Reef in 2012.

In 2018, we held our first PADI Women’s Dive Day on Silverswift. PADI Women’s Dive Day focuses on celebrating the achievements of women in a male-dominated industry.

In 2019, Ocean Spirit and Quicksilver Group marine biologist, Samantha Gray became the Queensland face of the Tourism Australia 'philAusophy' campaign.

He might live in a pineapple under the sea, but Spongebob made the most of some time above the surface at our Agincourt pontoon in 2019.

Migaloo was spotted by our team in 2019 on the way out to Agincourt Reef. It was the earliest in the season that Migaloo had been spotted in Northern waters and he was distinguished by markings on his back and fin.

In 2019, we teamed up with Nautilus Aviation! The new partnership included four new, branded, state-of-the-art H130s- 2 for Great Adventures and 2 for Quicksilver.

In 2018, we opened our new 5-star dive facility, 'Quicksilver Dive' in Port Douglas. The state of the art centre includes a heated dive pool (with viewing window), air-conditioned classrooms and low student to instructor ratios.
