Quicksilver’s environmental division, Reef Biosearch, was founded in 1986 with the aim of combining tourism, education and research, highlighting our passion and commitment to the future sustainability of the Great Barrier Reef.
Led by our team of university qualified marine biologists, Reef Biosearch is focused on education, research and monitoring within daily operations and the wider community. Reef Biosearch is in fact the largest team of privately employed marine biologists outside of a government agency.
Our guests benefit daily from their extensive and passionate knowledge of the reef systems we visit through interpretive presentations and videos on the ecology and biology of the reef, scuba diving tips and the guided snorkel tours they conduct. They are available to answer guest questions throughout the day.
