Fantastic experience!
Probably one of the most organised and cleanest dive shop that I ever dove with 🙂
Super easy and simple booking, great equipment and assistance with it, safety and dive briefing fantastic,… whole logistic with getting on the boat and back super smooth.
Friendly and kind diving master, greatly led dives…
And when we came back after dives they made us barbecue! Incredible!

Thank you feet first, I really enjoyed diving with you and see you again soon 🙂

Was staying in Nelson Bay for a couple of days and decided to book in for a Scuba Dive with the Feet First Dive crew,

Firstly the whole booking process although it would be nice if there was an online option it was super easy and the staff where super friendly and very easy to deal with, I think from start to finish it took 3 mins to book in onto the next boat dive.

Next the staff at the shop on the dive day, super friendly and very easy to deal with, I required full dive gear and they had heaps of options and happy to accommodate with what equipment I had experience with.

Then the dive, top marks to 'Hillbilly' our dive master and Steve the boat captain, both super friendly and professional and Hillbilly was awesome at explaining the dives and making us all feel very much at ease. The dives were awesome and for the second dive at 'North Rock' I have never been so close (1m away) from so many 2m+ sharks absolutely a once in a lifetime,

Lastly the lunch back at the dive shop, was not expecting a sausage sizzle at all but it was all prepared and ready for us when we got back, absolutely awesome and Hillbilly was all too willing to give us some pointers and tell us about some of his more exciting past dive experience.

Absolutely loved my dive experience with Feet First dive and would not hesitate to recommend to others. I will be back, thank you to the whole Feet First Dive crew.

I booked a double dive here and didn’t really know what to expect.
However, I was pleasantly surprised that all my forms were ready and partly completed by FFD prior to my arrival on Sunday morning.
I found all of the staff helpful and really friendly.
Dive equipment was good quality, I did have a problem with my BCD, but I managed to get by.
After a great first dive we made our way to the second site and were served hot soup and biscuits.
When we got back to the harbour after our second dive and unloaded the boat, we had a shower and got changed back into our day clothes, then were taken back to the dive centre.
After unloading the gear and giving it a quick wash, we all sat down and enjoyed some BBQ food.
What a great time we had with Feet First Dive.
Highly recommend.

WOW did my open water cert and a few specialists corses with Trudy, she has made a life long dive buddy out of me!! Don't be fooled into thinking this is a small town shop as the variety and knowledge they have is amazing all based off over 20 years of real world experience. If you like small town charm and being treated like family every time you come in then this is the place for you!

Super friendly crew, happy to answer our questions and provide valuable suggestions and tide times for local diving. Very knowledgeable on dive sites and current conditions. Great airfills too!

Should be your first stop before diving in Nelson Bay!

If you want to go Down Under, to view the Ocean's Wonder, just ask Trudy, they take you down to visit a Nudie (branch that is), Sharks, Dolphins Groper's and Squid, even at night they'll show you what the ocean has kept well hid, from Broughton Island to Fly Point, they'll make sure they show you round the joint, Awesome crew and a Great Boat, the best gear, make you look like a STAR, not a Goat.

A testament to Trudy and her Team, 'Hey' they party hard too!, she's a scream.

Excellent service a great smile, years of experience when guiding one through the learning experience of a beginner to advanced levels of diving.

Thankyou for the experience.

I had to come rent some gear and was blown away by the friendly small town service. I ended up coming back to buy new snorkelling goggles as my existing were leaking. The time taken and allowing me to try goggles on and get the right fit & in answering questions , allowing me to look about ....has only further intrigued me !Great work ! I'll be back ! Keep up the great work and i big thanks to Trudie for her professionalism and attentiveness !
