Poseidon Reef Trips
The family-run Poseidon Reef suits fast day divers.
The unrelenting surge of visitors to the Reef off Port Douglas has impacted on its general condition, and although you'll still see colourful corals and marine life, it has become patchy in parts. Reef trips generally include reef tax, snorkelling and transfers from your accommodation, plus lunch and refreshments. Add around A$200/around A$180 for an introductory/certified dive.

Ocean Dive
Ocean Dive sells dive paraphernalia. Apart from the Great Barrier Reef, the big attraction for divers is the stunning and spooky Yongala shipwreck. There are several dive companies, most offering Yongala options, but you need to have an open-water certificate to see it. Dive companies are only as good as their staff, who change frequently in this business. Ask other travellers for current recommendations
