REMARKS

The scalloped hammerhead is a very distinctive and unusual shark with its eyes and nostrils placed on the far ends of its mallet-shaped head.

This unusual head may enhance sensory capabilities and help stabilise the shark.

The head shape provides a greater surface area for the electric receptors, giving the hammerhead an increased ability to detect fish and rays buried under sand.

We receive an updated weather report directly from our crew living at Agincourt Reef at 7.30am each morning. Please call for further information, such as cloud cover, as often weather conditions will be different at the reef to the mainland.

Fish Feeding
Fish feeding at the reef is conducted by our crew twice each day. It is restricted to 1kg of fresh fish or approved pellets (to ensure that we do not affect their normal eating behaviour), and is only conducted by our trained snorkelling safety supervisors. Please refrain from feeding the fish your food scraps, as this could upset their diets.

See the reef from a different perspective

A 10 minute scenic flight will show you the opal blue reefs from a new perspective. Make sure you pre book through your tour desk.

Looking forward to spending the day with you
