Single Seal Dive

Scuba Dive with Seals

Prepare for one of the most thrilling underwater experiences—diving with Australian fur seals! These energetic and inquisitive marine mammals are known for their playful nature, often darting around divers, flipping and twirling through the water, and coming in for a closer look. Their acrobatic underwater antics make for an unforgettable diving experience, and their curiosity means they are just as excited to see you as you are to see them!

The dive site is located just a 10-minute boat ride from Port Kembla Harbour, giving you easy access to a unique wildlife interaction in a natural, open-water environment. Unlike structured marine encounters, these seals are completely wild, and their interactions depend on their mood—sometimes they’ll play non-stop, and other times they’ll simply lounge around.

Your Dive Day Includes:

✔ Two exhilarating boat dives with Australian fur seals
✔ Divemaster services for guidance and safety (max 10 divers per DM)
✔ Light lunch served between dives
✔ Hot showers and onboard toilet for added comfort

❌ We do not provide transport from Sydney to Port Kembla—you will need to arrange your own transportation.

This experience is perfect for certified divers looking for an up-close and personal encounter with seals in their natural habitat. If you haven’t dived in the past 12 months, we highly recommend completing a refresher course before joining.

For divers who prefer additional one-on-one guidance, you can book a private divemaster for an extra $199 to ensure personalized attention and assistance.

With its superior speed, the Abyss dive boat allows divers to reach dive sites quickly, enjoy two dives, and still be back before lunchtime—perfect for those who love efficiency without compromising on adventure.

Boat Diving Safety & Requirements

• Site Selection & Conditions: While we aim to dive at the seal site, dive locations are subject to change based on weather and sea conditions. The skipper always has the final say to ensure diver safety.
• Depth Restrictions: If you plan to dive deeper than 18 meters, you must hold an Advanced Open Water certification.
• Equipment Requirements: Every diver must carry a safety sausage (SMB). If you don’t have one, you can purchase one online when booking or on the morning of the dive.
• Experience Requirements: If you haven’t dived in the last 6 months and have fewer than 20 logged dives, you’ll need to complete a refresher dive before joining the boat dive.

Not a Diver? Try Snorkeling or Freediving with Seals!

If you don’t scuba dive but still want to experience the magic of swimming with Australian fur seals, we offer both snorkeling and freediving with seals as alternative options. This is a fantastic way for freedivers or non-divers to witness these playful creatures in action from the surface.

This trip operates on a different boat from the scuba diving experience.
It is a shorter excursion than the scuba diving trip.
It is also a more affordable option compared to seal diving on scuba.

During this adventure, you'll have the chance to float and observe as seals twist, turn, and glide effortlessly around you—sometimes even mimicking your movements! Whether you're a snorkeler looking for a fun wildlife interaction or a freediver seeking a more immersive experience, this trip offers a breathtaking way to connect with nature.
