Dive the Great Barrier Reef in style
Exciting private scuba diving day trips for qualified divers to the Agincourt Ribbon Reefs…
“By far the best way to see the reef”. Trip Advisor.
On Poseidon we can take you on great private Scuba diving day trips up to the stunning Agincourt Ribbon Reefs north -east of Port Douglas.
You will have your own private Blue Dive guide who knows all the best and hidden areas of the reef. You’ll be diving away from the crowds.
Poseidon also has a licence to swim with Minke whales that visit the area between May and August. It can be an incredible experience.
Price on request, please email us for an immediate quote. The price comes in only a little higher than diving directly with one of the boats (see below) as we commit to take only your nominated group on the dives. You have your own expert Blue Dive private guide. Snorkelers can also join at a rate of $200 per day.
Complimentary Scuba refresher sessions can be included at no extra cost on private trips.

Scuba Tune-Up
Not dived for a while? Are you feeling a little nervous to go straight out to the reef? Let us get you back up to speed with this fun retraining session in our tropical pool in Port Douglas.
What does the session involve?
After a review of basic diving theory you will complete a skills circuit in the pool. We will get your confidence back up so you can really enjoy your reef trip. There will be plenty of time for questions. The course takes half a day morning or afternoon, at your choice.
What will you be qualified to do upon completion?
On completion you will be ready and confident to go out to the reef or to enrol on your further education course.

Lake Eacham – Rainforest volcano diving option
We also offer fascinating and unusual day trips up to Lake Eacham; an extinct volcano and freshwater lake at 720m altitude up in the tropical rainforest in the Atherton Tablelands.
This trip is great for non divers too.
The lake is full of Red-Clawed Yabbies (small lobsters) and freshwater turtles. Strange rock formations and fallen trees make it a memorable if unusual scuba dive… surfacing surrounded by a lush rainforest is some experience. Great day trips, including a dive, where you get to see parts of Queensland away from the tourist trail. Trips include picnic lunch and visits to amazing Curtain Fig Tree. Optional trip to Granite Gorge to see wild Rock Wallabies by the hundreds and swim in the gorge.
We can run these trips with a minimum of 2.
