The Quicksilver boat is a huge wave piercing catamaran and they have it all organised very well with food and drink on board, as well as information videos showing on TV screens all over the place.
Then when everyone has exited the boat and boarded the pontoon, there are all sorts of activities, from going into a submerged room to view the coral and swimmers, a mini submarine, to snorkelling, to scuba diving (with all equipment provided). Even changing into the gear gave us a lot of laughs!
Mum went into the submerged room, while the rest of us went snorkelling. It was really great fun!

After we were finished, a fantastic lunch was provided on the pontoon and then we just lazed about and sunbathed until it was time to return to the boat for the trip home.
In the evening we returned to the marina for a fish'n'chip dinner at a restaurant which had a live band playing old rock & roll from the sixties.

Mum loved it and asked if they could play "These Boots Were Made For Walking", which they did. A funny guy from the table next to us (who saw Mum request the song) asked her up to dance. It was so funny because Mum can jive really well but the guy couldn't dance at all and just stomped.
