The 24m ultra modern, custom-built catamaran MV POSEIDON III, is the perfect vessel to experience the Great Barrier Reef.

Poseidon departs Port Douglas daily at 8.30am and returns at approximately 4.30pm. Courtesy coach transfers are provided from accommodation in the Port Douglas area.

We believe that by limiting passenger numbers we offer a unique and individual operation. Our guests are looked after by up to ten highly qualified crew members to ensure there is plenty of help on hand to assist both experienced and beginner divers and snorkellers.

Limited passenger numbers ensures personal comfort and individual attention. Poseidon is surveyed to carry a maximum of 90 passengers and 10 crew, however we normally limit our passenger numbers to 79 guests and up to 10 crewmembers.

Our cruise caters to snorkellers, introductory or first-time divers, and certified divers, who can enjoy up to three quality dives, with guides. We always have a high crew/passenger ratio with plenty of help on hand for inexperienced snorkellers or divers.

Comfort is of prime importance and the vessel boasts a number of great features including an air conditioned bar/saloon area, large shaded deck areas as well as a spacious sun deck, two toilets/change rooms, and fresh water showers.

Poseidon has a roving permit with a wide variety of Outer Reef sites to access. Three of the best Outer Reef sites are visited each day, selected from 20 years experience in the local dive industry and according to tidal and weather conditions.

A tropical buffet lunch and morning and afternoon tea is provided, catered for us by a prominent Port Douglas restaurant.
