Poseidon - Scuba Dive &
Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef with Poseidon - 3 outer barrier reef sites daily - the
ultimate reef adventure
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 70kl 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.
