The AGINCOURT RIBBON REEFS are long
narrow reefs located along the very Outer
Edge of the Great Barrier Reef, flushed out
at every tide by clear oceanic water welling
up from the Coral Sea Trench nearby. Coral
thrives in this clear water, creating
spectacular gardens and a huge variety of
marine life. These pristine reefs are
opposite the Daintree Rainforest, well North
of any agricultural run-off from cultivated
areas, and provide the best possible
snorkelling and diving opportunities. All
our sites have been selected for both the
shallower coral gardens favoured by
snorkellers, and the adjacent deeper walls
and drop-offs preferred by scuba divers.
In recognition of POSEIDON having achieved
the ADVANCED ECO-TOURISM accreditation,
following 'best practice' procedures, and
participating in research activities such as
Eye on the Reef, Reef Check, Bleach-Watch
and the Minke Whale Project, the Great
Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has
awarded us an extended operating permit.
POSEIDON is preferred by the leading Port
Douglas dive schools for their continuing
in-water education. Poseidon is also chosen
by many renowned underwater photographers
who recognise the importance of visiting
quality reef sites. All images used in this
web site were taken during a day on Poseidon
at the Agincourt Ribbon Reefs.
The crystal-clear waters, beautiful corals
and incredible fish life found at the
AGINCOURT RIBBON REEFS 70k North East of
Port Douglas and on the VERY OUTER EDGE of
the Great Barrier Reef, enable us to offer
the best possible day boat diving and
snorkelling.
This includes DRIFT and WALL DIVES, isolated
pinnacles surrounded by Pelagic fish, and
coral gardens with their endless variety of
colourful wrasses, cods, parrot fish, angel
fish, clams and anemones, that make a
healthy living reef so beautiful.
Poseidon as a company is committed to
preserving this BEAUTIFUL FRAGILE
ENVIRONMENT. Moorings are used to
prevent coral damage.
