Poseidon is one of the best dive boats I have been on. The crew are friendly, high quality boat, smaller group, great guides and the Agincourt reefs are an awesome part of the great barrier reef. The operation is very organised, great guides (our was Mitch) and we felt we were in hands with Quicksilver. The nursery was our favourite dive. Thanks for a fantastic day out!

The staff were excellent. Seb was especially engaging and friendly. Excellent master diver, showed us around and gave us some space to explore. Always kept tabs on our air and safety overall. The problem was not with the team, it was with the policy of the boat to keep the inside cabin at arctic temperatures. It was explained that cold temps help people who are seasick. On other dives, those who are feeling sick are expected go outside to experience the fresh air, which helps. As a result of the frozen conditions in the cabin, I was too cold to eat lunch and too cold to participate in the last dive. There simply was no place to warm up. They can't control the weather or the water temp, but they have complete control of the temperature inside the cabin. If you have any issues with being cold on dives, don't go on this one.
