REMARKS

Goatfish are easily identified by a pair of barbels on their chin which are used to probe the sand for food.

They mainly feed on worms, crustaceans and echinoderms living in sediment.

Goatfish are often seen in schools feeding amongst the sediment with small wrasses and other fish following to pick up any food disturbed by the goatfish.

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
