Meet the site

Your Place is another of Scuba IQ's Agincourt sites. The operator describes a dive that ventures towards the reef tip before returning through undulating coral structures, with sharks and turtles among the wildlife. The outward leg towards the tip is where the bigger animals are most likely: reef tips on the Agincourt ribbon reefs catch the tidal flow and attract grey and whitetip reef sharks, schooling fish and turtles. On the return, the reef becomes a landscape of coral ridges, gullies and mounds – the undulating structures of the description – that make for interesting navigation and hide plenty of reef fish, crustaceans and molluscs. The combination of an open, exploratory leg and a detailed return leg makes the dive feel varied, and the site's quieter status means it is less busy than the flagship moorings. Scuba IQ does not publish depths, but most of the dive will be between 5 and 18 m. Visibility is typically 15–30 m. The site suits open water divers comfortable with a slightly longer swim, and photographers will find both big-animal and coral-landscape opportunities. Like all Agincourt sites, Your Place is within Great Barrier Reef Marine Park zoning, and the reef supports healthy coral and fish populations. It is a good option for divers who want a mix of wildlife and reef topography in one dive. Scuba IQ runs its Agincourt trips with small groups, so guides can tailor the route: those wanting to spend more time watching for sharks at the tip can do so, while others explore the coral ridges. Because the site name is used mainly by this operator, ask for it by name if you want to dive it, and bear in mind the final choice always depends on wind and tide on the day.

Some details in this record need confirmation. Check the source information and speak with a local operator.
