REMARKS

Corals are animals. Some species have seperate sexes; others are both sexes in one.

All produce eggs and sperm. During the annual spawning, corals release thousands of eggs and sperm which rise to the surface forming slicks of pink goop.

This occurs between sunset and 11pm, 4-6 days after the full moon in October, November and / or December.

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.

Corals
Whilst you are at the reef, have a close look at the different types of coral. Staghorn corals form vast beds in the protected shallow lagoons, and are one of the most abundant and colourful of all corals. Boulder corals are solid and can be very old (up to 1000 years), with soft corals occupying the reef flats and reef fronts as they are more adept at dealing with wave motion.

Silversonic

For fun and adventure, our dive and snorkel vessel visits three different reef sites. Book your adventure through your tour desk.

Looking forward to spending the day with you
