I had a really great experience with Aquability. Tim is a very experienced diver and shared helpful tips that made a big difference once we were underwater. The highlight was diving at Pope’s Eye, where we saw many different types of fish and seals. We were also lucky enough to spot dolphins from a distance. Highly recommended.

Hi Mark,
I hope you are well! I’ve started diving with Duncan at Dive Centre Bondi as I am now in Sydney.
He raves about you and I just wanted to say thank you for setting me up so well with gear and knowledge which has been invaluable and I’ve felt really confident in the water with him.
Really look forward to a dive in the future with you.
Thanks again,
