REMARKS

Sea cucumbers have tiny fish known as pearlfish living inside them. The pearlfish live inside the cucumber during the day and then emerge at night to feed.

When morning comes, the peralfish simply waits for the sea cucember to breathe and it swims back inside.

Sea cucumbers dont necessarily like the pearlfish living inside and try to prevent the pearlfish from enteriang their body cavities.

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
