- Agincourt Reef - Located at the very edge of the Great Barrier Reef, Agincourt Reef is a ribbon reef running parallel to the Continental Shelf. It is home to a diverse array of marine life, from tiny iridescent fish hiding in coral shelters to enormous giant clams weighing up to 200 kilograms (440 pounds).
- Great Barrier Reef - If you’re new to scuba diving, you can opt for one or two introductory dives, or you might prefer to stick to snorkeling and explore all three sites from the surface. A crew member will lead a guided snorkel tour at one of the reef locations for those interested. Certified divers have the option to participate in up to three certified dives. Regardless of your choice, the Outer Great Barrier Reef Dive and Snorkel Cruise offers up to five hours in the water.
