What to expect

You'll meet your guide at Gordon's Bay, get fitted into a buoyant wetsuit and shown how the scooter works—throttle control is intuitive. Once in the water, the scooter propels you effortlessly, freeing you to look around rather than struggle with fins and breath control. Expect to cruise past small reef fish, sea urchins, and occasional larger visitors. The guide watches everyone's comfort and can suggest staying shallow or venturing deeper depending on your confidence. Most people find the first 10 minutes spent getting the hang of steering; after that, it's just cruising and staring.
