About Agincourt Reefs
Agincourt Reefs is an outer ribbon-reef dive area off Port Douglas with plate-coral gardens, bright blue water, shallow reef flats and wall sections opening toward the Coral Sea. Guided boats use it for mixed-skill outer-reef days, with healthy coral structure, turtles, reef fish and the occasional reef shark giving the site its classic northern Great Barrier Reef feel.
