This was extremely cool. It does wear you out. My husband, on the other hand, was a pro at it! He was doing barrels and one handed moves. I did get a little nauseous towards the end. I should have taken some dramamine. Usually I do not have motion sickness. Was fun though. My husband now wants one for our lake house in Michigan. Instructor was amazing.

Alex and Chris were fantastic. Using the Seabob made it very easy to see everything without the issues that come with scuba diving. I highly recommend this to anyone in the Ft Lauderdale area looking for something active to do! I will be doing this again the next time I am in the area.

Alexander and Renee were great guides and made sure everything was configured and fitted nicely. Was super hot out, and they made sure even the sand was sprayed down in the walking area as to not burn our feet. Very nice experience.

1. Be sure to reserve your spot through the Viator app. 2. Use a cashback app like Rakuten—percentages vary based on the app and booking time. 3. Pay with a travel rewards credit card to maximize benefits. 4. Expect a waiver to be sent via message the morning of your activity—sign it promptly. 5. Paid parking is available in front of the hotel. Reserve at least 3 hours. Use the “PayByPhone” app or the nearby parking meter. 6. All participants—men and women—must wear waterproof shorts and a T-shirt. The Seabob creates friction against your body, so proper clothing is essential. 7. If you wear water shoes, remove them before the ride to avoid losing them. 8. Avoid applying sunscreen to your face—it can irritate your eyes when wearing diving goggles. 9. They provide diving goggles; test them onshore to ensure they don’t leak. 10. Check that the rope connecting you to the Seabob is long enough. Your arms should be fully extended for proper control. 11. Photos taken during the experience cost $40 and are payable via Venmo only. Credit card payments incur additional fees. 12. To avoid those fees, consider tipping your guide directly instead of paying via card—the machine will prompt you for a tip. Overall, it’s a fantastic experience. The Seabob is new and exciting, and the guide was incredibly kind, patient, and informative. You’ll have a great time!
