Sydney Underwater Scooter Tour in Gordon’s Bay – 90 Min Guided Dive

Summary

Guided Water Scooter Adventure in Clovelly Bay

If you want to see Sydney’s underwater world up close—without heavy scuba gear—this tour is for you. You’ll glide through Gordon’s Bay on a water scooter with a local guide, spot marine life you’d never notice from shore, and get all your gear sorted for you. It’s easygoing fun whether you’re new to snorkeling or just looking for something different to do in Sydney.

What’s the experience like?

Saltwater hit my lips as I eased into Gordon’s Bay, wetsuit zipped and scooter humming in my hand. Our guide, Sam, gave us a quick run-through—nothing fancy, just the basics and a couple of tips for duck diving with the scooter. The water was cool but not cold, and you could smell sunscreen mixed with seaweed on the breeze. Even before we started moving, I spotted a blue groper nosing around the rocks.

The first time I squeezed the trigger and felt the scooter pull me forward, I actually laughed out loud. It’s weirdly freeing—no flippers flapping around, just gliding over sandy patches and weaving through kelp forests. Sam pointed out a shy octopus tucked under a ledge; honestly, I’d have missed it if he hadn’t waved me over. We spent about an hour and a half exploring every corner of Clovelly Bay, sometimes just floating on the surface watching schools of tiny fish flicker past. You don’t need to be an expert swimmer—just comfortable in the water. Kids as young as twelve were zipping around with us (with their parents close by). The whole thing felt safe but still like a real adventure.
