Poseidon is owned and operated by a local Port Douglas family - a dedicated team sharing their passion for snorkelling and scuba diving.


Founders of Poseidon, Peter and Barbara Wright did much of the exploratory diving on the Northern Great Barrier Reef, Papua New Guinea & the Solomon Islands in the 1980's with a previous liveaboard dive vessel "Scheherazade".  They pioneered Outer Reef snorkelling and diving in the Port Douglas area in the early 1980's. 

Over 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ensures that Poseidon visits only the best possible sites, as reef quality can vary greatly.

The first Poseidon commenced operation in Port Douglas in 1994 taking 30 passengers cruising daily to the Great Barrier Reef.  Seeing the demand for a faster, more comfortable vessel, Poseidon II was built in 1997 and increased the carrying capacity to 48 passengers.  In April 2001, Poseidon III was launched replacing Poseidon II.  This ultra modern vessel features many improvements and refinements.  Limited passenger numbers ensures personal comfort and individual attention.

Poseidon with its hands on management, strives for EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Poseidon enjoys a stellar reputation and is committed to offering an exceptional reef experience to visitors showcasing The Great Barrier Reef in a PROFESSIONAL and FRIENDLY manner.

"By upgrading our vessels and taking an active part in safe guarding the attractions of our Great Barrier Reef, we continue to demonstrate our long term commitment to responsible marine eco-tourism"
   
  Poseidon has been awarded
one of the few permits to swim with the Dwarf Minke Whales.  These friendly mammals are regularly encountered from May to September; while their larger cousins, the Humpback Whales, appear from July to September, and are increasing in numbers.
