- Michele E0 contributionsSeaScooter AdventureChris is informative and enthusiastic. The equipment was of a high standard. I felt completely safe in Gordon's Bay. Perfect location as the water isn't too deep, so you can see to the bottom, and there is so much wildlife and plant life about. A fun morning.Written 19 April 2018
- Elisha K0 contributionsGreat Day!What an experience! Good quality equipment, very informative and look after you from start to finish. Lots to see and at a beautiful location. Will be back :-)Written 1 February 2018
- Lorena L0 contributionsVery easy, fun and safe trip with great tour guides!Chris and Tim were very easy going and helpful! I was lucky enough to come on a day when it was only them and my bf going out and so decided to join in myself. Well worth they money as they teach you all the basics, take you to the fishy hotspots and provide very good quality equipment.Written 28 January 2018
- Shane J0 contributionsGreat experienceMyself and my wife had a great time in the ocean with Chris..he is a super friendly informative guy that genuinely wants you to have a good time and see as much as what is on offer on the day beneath the surface...would definitely do again and 100% recommend anyone to give it a goWritten 23 November 2017
- Suzanne H0 contributionsWorth Doing!The experience was great! Instructors were very professional yet relaxed with an excellent knowledge of diving & marine life. Water clarity was great and lots of sea life to be seen.Written 27 September 2017
- Karwai N0 contributionsAmazing experience!Chris was as friendly as you can get! 5 stars and strongly recommended. Bit of a learning curve at the start but in the end an amazing experience!Written 8 June 2017
- Mark L0 contributionsChris is awesomeWe went for my wife's birthday on a week day, and it ended up just being the two of us with the instructor, Chris. Chris is the owner/operator, and you can tell he cares about his business and the experience of the customers. We were a bit slow in the water, but he kept the energy up the entire time. The scooters are really neat, and make it easier to coast along the surface or do some shallow-ish dives. Would recommend this to anyone.Written 28 March 2017
- mareid370 contributionsFun for all swimming abilitiesI got this as a present for my 21st and my Mum decided to come with me for her birthday. It was great, overcast day but that just made it better. Scooter was easy to use, instructions were clear and everyone looked like they were having fun. I would've liked to have seen a bit more marine life but other than that, this was a great experience!Written 5 February 2017
- Johnny Y0 contributions10/10 excellentGuide Chris was a legend, was my first underwater scooter and couldn't have asked for a better experienceWritten 30 January 2017
- Amit R0 contributionsGreat experience for all levels of swimmers...from beginners to experienced..nice underwater views!Thanks to Chris and Co. a fun and simple underwater experience! Simple motorised, lightweight scooter provides an opportunity for people to participate in this activity. Group size is small so everyone is always accounted for and safe. One can either float or do dolphin dives underwater. All demo'ed by Chris and his experienced colleague. Great quality gear provided for - including full body wetsuits, flippers, mask and a scooter. Definitely recommended for all to experience!Written 6 January 2017
- Lorna25000 contributionsQuite simply: Great Day!Such a fun experience. It was great to see Chris' passion about his work. He clearly LOVES the sea and all its creatures. He also loves to meet people. A chilled out guy, who will guide you around Gordon Bay, Sydney with enthusiasm. LornaWritten 4 December 2016

Chris, our guide, was so relaxed and friendly. We weren't too experienced with underwater activities but he was the perfect guide and walked us through everything we needed to know, so we felt very safe and excited. We spotted a friendly groper, sting rays, fish, wobbegong sharks, and other sea life. There's nothing like flying underwater with those scooters. It was the best time! We paid a little extra for the photo package and couldn't be happier with the memories captured. Definitely recommend!

After a briefing our small group hit the water. We had good conditions with very little wind or swell. Our guide pointed out various fish, rays and some tiny squid and taught us a few tricks with the scooters. I tool up the option of a video of the our time in the water.
I recommend the experience.

Fantastic experience giving the opportunity to see plenty of Australian sea life. Chris was a brilliant guide putting me at ease with the equipment and identifying the creatures we saw, including (harmless!) sharks, fish and jellyfish. Would recommend 100%!

I paid $560 for this experience, me and my husband arrived at the meeting point 30 min early ( feeling very excited for this activity), only to have the tour guide not show up AT ALL. I tried contacting the number provided multiple times, saying the phone call cannot be connected. I contacted trip advisor to see if they could reach him, and they advised no one responded from their end either. I even waited an additional half an hour after our appointment times, hoping he would show up, but nothing! Felt like the biggest scam. Didn’t even have the audacity to tell us he won’t show up. Very unprofessional.

Chris, our underwater scooter guide, explained to us expertly how to use the scooters. It was quite simple really. Taught us some tricks. It was exhilarating. And then we saw a huuuge blue groper and swam along for a while and saw her fending off other large fish. Chris pointed to the bottom where I dove down to a beautiful little shark. I'm 73 and had zero problems, even when the swells were up a bit. I can recommend this to anyone who is comfortable in the ocean. Great time!!

My wife and I were on holiday booked this tour as an extra to our trip and we are SO glad that we did. Chris was a fantastic guide as he pointed out cool things underwater. We saw some grouper, rays, different colorful fish and other beautiful marine life/aquatic plants. The scooters were easy to operate and required no swimming skills. We had such a good time we are looking into buying some sea scooters ourselves. The photo/video package was worth every penny. We were able to relax and explore without having to distract ourselves with picture/video taking. I recommend this excursion to everyone that enjoys being underwater. We also enjoyed the personal experience of a family business as opposed to a big corporate tour group. Thanks Chris. We'll see you again next time we are in Sydney.

My boyfriend had booked this for me as a Christmas gift. I really didn't know what to expect but can absolutely say I loved it and we will most certainly be back. Chris was so welcoming and kind which made it easy to ask questions about marine life etc. The scooters were great fun and meant we got to see a lot more than we ever would have! Would definitely recommend!!

Chris is such a great guy and this was so much fun! When people ask me my favorite thing I did in Sydney this is at the top! I had a blast checking our groupers, string rays, the ocean floor etc. Chris has such a positive attitude and is a pleasure to be around. Would highly recommend!

Chris the instructor lead me around Clovelly, Gordons Bay showing schools of fish, sting rays, jellyfish families, port Jackson sharks, flat heads & more. Highly recommend Chris, so friendly & welcoming - one of by far the best ocean experiences!! This is a must do underwater experience in one of Sydney’s best locations. Super fun without all the scuba gear.
