Fine Diving on the Northern Reefs

Really good reefs are accessible for divers from Port Douglas. It is worth the drive 60 km north out of Cairns to Port Douglas for a day trip. The coastal road is so scenic, it would be a shame to miss it.

The 24m Catamaran takes up to 77 passengers in comfort. There are usually more snorkellers than divers on this trip.

Dive Sites

Poseidon brings divers in about 90 minutes out to the reefs. Agincourt Reef, Opal Reef, Tongue Reef, The Sisters, Rudder Reef and Chinaman Reef have great dive sites. The water out here is usually a little clearer and the reefs are less frequented. This area is also great for snorkellers.

Features

• Snorkelling: Visit spectacular Agincourt reef at the very edge of the Great Barrier Reef and spend a leisurely five hours at play amongst the colourful coral and marine life. All your snorkelling gear is provided. So there is nothing to hold you back!

  

• Introductory Diving: Discover scuba diving. Diving is for everyone... including those who have never dived before. While snorkelling allows you to view fish and coral from above the reef, diving allows you to experience the underwater world close up, explore the coral and swimming with the fish. If this is your only chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, make sure you experience all you can by diving it. All our Dive Instructors are professionally qualified PADI Instructors. There is still plenty of time to enjoy all other activities on board with family and friends. Please note a medical form must be completed on board.

  

• Certified Diving: Certified divers can enjoy up to three dives, with introductory divers able to do a second dive if they choose. Snorkellers can explore spectacular coral formations and underwater gardens teeming with vibrantly coloured marine creatures. The locations vary with the conditions, however each site is chosen for visual impact, ecological diversity and the challenge of discovery.
