He owned his first boat in 1977, became a NAUI Instructor in 1986 and is a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer.

    Roundy learned to dive over 25 years ago; he is now a PADI Rescue Diver and the best dressed crew member at Blue Bay Divers. Roundy loves his whales and after 15 years of driving whale watching vessels from Brunswick Heads, he’s seen more whales than any of us.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

  • Oscar T

    Everyone at Blue Bay Divers are brilliant. From Christina taking bookings and sorting out all the paperwork to the lads on the boat with tens of years diving at Julian Rocks.

    The are so helpful, knowledgeable and offer the best snorkeling, freediving or scuba diving tour for money. You get to spend a total of 3 hours at Julian Rocks. They are very honest and sensible and only go out when it’s safe to do so and fun for all the participants. They are an excellent company to use

    if you want long a longer trip or are a photographer with experience gear. Their experience and knowledge is PRICELESS and I would definitely recommend them. :)

  • Rowan D

    I have been diving with BlueBay for 4 years now, every time I come up to dive at Julian Rocks.

    I would recommend them to anyone diving Julian rocks- for scuba you got 2x60 minute dives and freediving over 3 hours in the water. No other company gives you that.

    The whole team are really friendly, extremely organised and safety is their priority.

    Thanks so much again 🙏🏼

  • Grayson H

    I booked a snorkeling trip with Blue Bay divers and had an amazing time.

    We were able to snorkel for a total of 3 hours and took a break halfway through to have provided tea, coffee, and snacks. We saw leopard sharks, sea turtles, and rays!

    I recommend Blue Bay divers if you are thinking about going to Julian Rocks

  • Joanna C

    Looking to take the best snorkel/dive/free dive trip out to Julian Rocks, then choose Blue Bay Divers.

    Limited number of divers, great half cabin boat to shelter from wind, very professional and lots of fun crew! We had at least 3 hours out and time all to ourselves before other crowded boats came and went.

    We had great dives, lucky with the visibility and saw so many beautiful creatures. Will definitely be going out again with Blue Bay Divers, thanks for a great morning ☀️🐠🦈🐢⭐️

  • Oliver R

    Very professional, safe, and fun. Great quality hire gear as well.

    Great dive to see leopard sharks.

    I will definitely be back
