Dive-site story
Situated along the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef off Port Douglas, the Agincourt complex consists of a series of ribbon reefs facing the open Coral Sea. The reef system features a mix of protected coral gardens on the leeward side and dramatic drop-offs with deep swim-throughs and isolated coral bommies on the outer faces. Strong oceanic currents flush these outer ribbons with clean water, supporting robust hard coral growth alongside extensive soft coral fields.
Extensive hard coral structures including staghorn thickets and massive plate corals
Frequent winter encounters with migrating dwarf minke whales
Diverse reef topography ranging from shallow coral bommies to deeper drop-off walls
Location
