Agincourt Reef features over 35 exclusive dive and snorkel sites along the edge of Australia's continental shelf. Depths range from shallow 5-meter coral gardens to wall drops descending beyond 40 meters.

These outer sites offer excellent visibility, often reaching 20 to 30 meters during the dry season. You will need to book a specialized dive or snorkel boat from Port Douglas to reach them.
