Cardinal fish are like the damsel fish however the Cardinal is nocturnal.

They hide in coral formations, caves and crevices during the day and come out at night to feed on small shrimp and crabs.

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
