Quicksilver's friendly crew will take you to a reef at the very edge of Australia's Continental Shelf, to an underwater world that is a dazzling kaleidoscope of color and life. The reef lagoon at Agincourt offers excellent swimming and snorkeling areas. For the more adventurous, scuba diving on Agincourt is amongst the best in the world. With Quicksilver you can choose to stay dry and explore the stunning reef world from the comfort of a Quicksilver sub, just one meter underwater.
