Schools of damsel fish, solitary clown fish and small reef sharks are common visitors to this part of the reef, along with some brightly-colored parrotfish and elegant angel fish. You'll have around 3.5 hours to enjoy the reef at your leisure. Grab a snorkel and fins and hit the water on your own, or join an optional guided snorkeling tour with a qualified marine biologist.

Crew, boat. Reef still spectacular although sadly bleached in spots. We left some personal items behind and reservations staff, Marieke, went extra mile to return the items to Pullman Palm Cove! Thank you again

Great outer reef experience with professional Quicksilver crew

Published on May, 2024

This is a well run operation- the facilities and reef experience were great! This is a good way to experience the outer barrier reef if you are not an experienced diver.

Dont have to be young to do this

Published on Nov, 2023

Amazing, everything went smoothly. Food was great and snorkeling was a lot easier than I imagined. I'd only been snorkeling once before some 20+ years ago. Wearing a 'stinger' suit was compulsory, but a lot safer to do so. Reef just looks like a patch of seaweed, and they do warn you that the travelogues showing incredibly bright coral colours are filmed at night, and under lights. Expect most of the things you see to have a blue tinge, but still incredibly worth doing.

Great day, the outer reef is amazing.

Published on Jun, 2023

Incredible, schooling fish, reef corals, clear water. The food was plentiful, varied and good. The staff friendly and helpful. Would do it all again. Thank you.
