Child getting ready to go snorkelling

Kids Introduction to Snorkelling

August 27, Wednesday

10:00 - 11:30

What's Here

Over 1.5 hours we will help them kit up in wet suit, mask and fins and then take them in to meet the local marine residents. Regular sightings include crabs, prawns, wrasse, blennies, flat fish and bait fish but we have been known to spot rays, pipefish and cuttlefish at the right time of year. We will start by helping them kit up, so they are fully prepared for their snorkel adventure. 

Using a 3mm long wet suit, mask, snorkel and fins (which we will provide for the experience), we will make sure that they are comfortable before we head off. Along the shoreline we will master using the fins, learn how to clear our snorkels and make sure everyone is ready and then head out to see who is about. 

Spending a maximum of 40 minutes in the water, these experiences are weather dependent. If conditions are not suitable you will be offered an alternative date or activity for that day. 

How old do they need to be? Minimum age for participation is 8 years old 
Do they need to be strong swimmers? No, they need to be water confident and able to swim 25 metres without aids. 
My child would love to come but not without me can I join in? If you think your child would be more comfortable with you in the water, please message us to discuss options. 


What do they need to bring? They only need swimsuit, towel and clothes for after the experience. If they have their own equipment, they can bring them along, we will check fit and suitability 


Is there paperwork for this experience? There is a short medical questionnaire to make sure everyone will be safe and personal information so we can issue them a certificate of participation after the event. 


What happens if they get cold? A correctly fitted wet suit will help them stay warm for the experience but if it stops being fun, we can bring them out when they want, and our professionals will keep a watchful eye on their comfort levels
