Snorkeling rental included the wetsuit which was greatly appreciated!
Would definitely book with them again
I had such a brilliant time, and I can't wait for my next dive! ????
The actual experience of exploring the area was amazing with mesmerizing views and decent roads without other vehicle traffic.
Its a perfect activity to do with kids!!
Kurt, our diving instructor at Bayplay, had a relaxed and welcoming demeanor and wasted no time getting right into the nitty gritty. He was efficient and effective with his curriculum and showed compassion, outstanding patience, and care for each of his students.
His international experiences, frequent travels, adventuring spirit, and deep understanding of self has given him unique perspectives in life, which 100% shows up in how and what he teaches.
While I’m sure other instructors are just as knowledgeable and capable, I believe Kurt gave tips and advice that was just perfect for beginner scuba divers. At the end of the day, I felt safe and in good hands in both confined and open water, and trusted in his ability to remain calm under chaos.
Bayplay itself provided an ultimate adventure experience for me that I can’t thank them enough!! Instructions were straight forward (although I would have liked to know that Medicals were not required for Covid diagnoses if you haven’t had it recently) and for what I got, it was priced exceptionally well.
Wetsuits, jackets, gear, the lot was also included in the package so that was very helpful. If you are able to buy gear elsewhere, it’s probably a good option as the selections were limited at the shops and quite expensive.
If you’re first time divers, skip the upsells for mask cleaners and anti-fog. Toothpaste will clean your mask just as well and spit will keep your mask clear of fog.
Other than that, great place for an excellent experience!! Come here and especially ask to learn from Kurt!!

Seeing a weedy sea dragon and a seahorse and diving in kelp for the first time made it an AMAZING DIVE!!!

Spotted the Sea Dragons, and plenty of other wonderful creatures.
Highly recommend this company!

We did a guided dive with Tiff at the Sea Dragon Colony dive site under the nearby pier. Tiff was a great guide, and the dive was enjoyable. It was different from other dives we have done, but that is not a bad thing. My wife had equipment issues with her BCD inflation with the LPI, so her buoyancy control suffered. Understandably, she did not enjoy this dive as much.
Prior to this dive, I had never seen a sea dragon in the wild. Now I have seen several of them. Worth it. I have also not see so many puffer fish all together. I missed it, but my wife saw a stingray. The plant life was pretty, and a nice change from all the reef diving we did the week before on a liveaboard. The water is too cold for my taste. It was 66F in and out of the water. We normally dive with a 4/3mm wetsuit, but we definitely used the shop's 7mm suits. By minute 50, I was starting to shiver and was happy to get out of the water.
I wish we had more time in the area to see some of their other popular dive sites (even with the cold water), but we were on a pretty tight schedule. That being said, I recommend Bayplay for diving activities.






We watched the required video and went through safety stuff - this was done properly and professionally. Then we did our basic skills training in the sea as it was nice and calm.
This was followed by a good dive around the pier - saw dragon fish and stingrays.
The instructors (two for three students) were very correct and professional and helpful.
I am now enthused enough to get my certificate and I will be using this company for that.
BayPlay do lots of other activities and have a well-equipped shop.
About 3-4 hrs duration


A bit more practice in the pool would've been nice.
Awesome experiencing the underwater world!


On arrival we filled in some paper work, basicly medical questionars, watched a DVD and answered some basic diving questions, then it was off to the pool for basic training
We blew bubbles let water into our masks and disposed of it whilst underwater, basic survival i guess, and swam around the special dive pool to become familiar with the weightlessness, with a short drive to the Rye's pier and a lot of laughs with the other divers we arrived, geared up and a short walk to the waters edge and we were in the ocean . . . .
Stef the instructor kept a keen eye out for us but was a barrel of laughs once you got to know her, which wasnt long, but she showed us around and under the pier, we saw all sort of plant life fish spiecies crabs and sea horses it was a carnival of colour and life, an experience i would recomend anyone to do there is no comparison, it is a see to believe, and i would recomend Bayplay to anyone, they are friendly have the answers and dont mess around and get you into the action asap with a lot of fun, which basicly is what we want . . . . If its adventure and fun under the sun then it Bayplay cose there number one (corny jingle)
