Gold coast seaplanes...i don't know if they even operate anymore!
I called them not long ago, they have a new aircraft and are operating. However they are not looking for new pilots at this stage. I am keen to go on to floats eventually and so made some enquiries.
Everyone I spoke to said to go to NW WA for a season to get the required number of water landings (hours don't mean much as you will not do many with a float operator).
Call Sydney Seaplanes, they do endos (do not offer ICUS) and are very friendly and helpful
.
Remember, flying floats is not good for hour building, it is a separate career stream and lifestyle.
Good luck
