REMARKS

Sea sponges have no organs, mouth, digestive tract, tissues, muscles, blood or nervous system.

They are a loosely organised collection of different cells with different funtions which, if broken up by being put through a sieve, are unable to reorganise themselves into the sponge form again.

Sea sponges are basically a network of tubes through which water is filtered for food and oxygen. In one day approx 5000 litres of water passes through the body of a sponge.

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
