August 29 to September 3, 2003, my wife snorkelled and I dove with Poseidon. I found them to be quite professional. My divemasters/guides (Scully, Paul, and Simon) were all good. Paul was my favorite, for he took an interest in educating us about the reef and its inhabitants.

The diving all took place on Agincourt Reef, approximately a 1-hour-40-minute one-way boat ride. Visibility varied from 50 to 110 feet, with depths never exceeding 73 feet/20 meters. I always did three dives a day, and my most memorable day was on the second day when weather conditions were superb. My wife and I noted a hurried atmosphere at lunch; our second day we knew what to expect.

I investigated all other known operators in port before and after arriving. This operation is recommended by many, even by those not associated.

Quick Tips:

I looked at other dive operators and found them to be the most recommended. More information from me:
