What is the Outer Edge, and how long does it take to get there?
The Outer Edge is the where the continental shelf ends and deep ocean begins. At the Outer Edge the ocean floor drops from 30 – 40 metres to 100s of metres. Ribbon reefs are situated on the edge hence the name the “Outer Edge”. Silversonic (max speed 32knots) cruises at 30 knots and takes 1 hour 30 mins to Agincourt reef. Silverswift (max speed 28 knots) cruises at 25 knots and takes 1 hour 15 mins to Flynn and Milln reefs.
