The Point at Agincourt Reef 4 delivers the kind of drift diving that keeps intermediate divers coming back. Strong currents sweep along this outer reef site, bringing in the pelagics and keeping the visibility between 15 and 28 metres. The depth range of 5 to 30 metres gives you options, though most of the action happens where the current picks up along the deeper sections. You'll encounter grey reef sharks, white-tip reef sharks, and black-tip reef sharks cruising the blue, whilst big-eye trevally and barracuda patrol the reef edge. Schools of striped fusiliers and yellow-tail fusiliers stream past in the current. Look closer and you'll spot Goldmann's sweetlips tucked into the coral, red bass holding station, and parrotfish working over the reef. The current demands respect and proper buoyancy control. You'll need to be comfortable with drift diving techniques and confident managing your position in moving water. Boat traffic is active in this area, so stay aware during your safety stop. The winter months from May through October offer the most reliable conditions, with calmer seas and consistent visibility.

Barracuda Bommie is a pinnacle site rising through Queensland waters where depths run from 10 to 29 metres and visibility regularly reaches 30 metres in good conditions. Mild current keeps the diving comfortable while supporting a solid variety of reef life. Barracuda and jackfish are the main draw around the structure, with reef sharks and nurse sharks adding weight to the experience. Honeycomb grouper and blue barred parrotfish work the hard coral, sea turtles pass through regularly, and the soft gingerbread hem star appears on closer inspection of the reef. Be aware of jellyfish and sharks throughout your dive.

Barracuda Bommie is a boat-access site in Queensland where you're likely to encounter the school of barracuda that gives the site its name. Shallower areas sit around 6 metres, making them comfortable for newer divers, though the site extends into deeper water at 26 metres. Visibility ranges from 12 to 30 metres, so conditions are generally good for spotting marine life. Alongside the barracuda, look for turtles, coral trout, trevally, and sweetlips, with smaller species like cardinalfish and blue-lined snapper filling in the gaps. Be aware that currents can run moderate to strong, so stay close to your guide.

Crack a Jack earns its name from the dense schools of jacks that sweep through the water column here, often accompanied by fusiliers and clouds of glass fish that part around you as you descend. The reef runs from a snorkeller-friendly 5 metres down to 36 metres, putting serious depth on the table for those who want it. Visibility typically ranges from 15 to 30 metres, so you can watch the action from a distance before committing. Current stays mild, which helps. Look carefully into the gorgonian fans for pygmy seahorses, and keep an eye on the sandy margins for marbled stingray and sea snakes. Whitetip and gray reef sharks work the deeper sections regularly. Watch for jellyfish throughout the water column and stay aware of boat traffic on ascent.

Wreck Bay combines a sunken wreck, reef wall, and cavern system in a single dive, making it a genuinely varied site for beginners. Visibility runs from 15 to 30 metres in the clearer conditions, so you get good sightlines even when learning to manage your buoyancy. Depths reach 25 metres in the deeper sections, though beginners will find plenty to explore in the shallower areas. The moderate current does require some attention, but it also brings in trevally and reef sharks patrolling the wall. Keep an eye on the reef for clown anemonefish, moray eels, and giant clams, and tawny nurse sharks often rest in the cavern.

Turtle Bay lives up to its name, with loggerhead turtles a reliable presence across the site's depth range of 5 to 22 metres. Visibility runs from 10 to 30 metres in the clearer conditions, giving you plenty of time to watch grey reef sharks and white-tip reef sharks working the deeper water. Moderate current pulls through regularly, which draws in schools of yellow tail fusiliers, trevally, and mackerel, so position yourself accordingly and let the fish come to you. Giant clams and sea fans mark the reef structure, while parrotfish and red bass fill out the mid-water. Check for jellyfish before entering, particularly in the shallower sections.

Nursery Bommie sits in the deeper waters of Agincourt Reef 2, reaching 25 metres, with visibility ranging from 12 to 30 metres depending on conditions. Despite the depth, mild currents keep things manageable for newer divers on a guided boat dive. The site rewards patient observers: look closely for leaf scorpionfish and nudibranchs tucked into the reef structure, while lionfish hover nearby. Schools of fusiliers, blue-striped snapper, and surgeonfish move through the water column, and clownfish are reliably found in their anemones. Barracuda and trevally occasionally cruise the edges, and rock cod tend to sit still long enough for a good look.

Anybodies sits on the outer edge of Agincourt Reef, dropping from a shallow 5 metres down to 30 metres in the deeper sections. Visibility regularly reaches 30 metres in calm conditions, though moderate currents run through the site and can strengthen without much warning. Those currents do the work of bringing in pelagic visitors, so keep an eye on the blue water beyond the reef edge where barracuda, sharks, and the occasional dolphin or whale pass through. Closer to the structure, look for Maori wrasse, parrotfish, angelfish, clownfish in their anemones, and giant clams. Boat traffic is a consistent hazard at this mooring, so always surface with a safety sausage.
