Snorkelling
About Snorkeling
Snorkelling is great fun, easy to learn and an ideal way to build up confidence in the water. It is accessible to anyone - young or old - and is an enjoyable way to get the whole family involved.
For younger members of the family, snorkelling is also a great introduction to underwater sports and can be their first step towards learning to dive.
Our BSAC’s snorkelling course are open to children from the age of 10 – giving basic pool based snorkelling skills that will help in future training.
You can complete a BSAC snorkel course with us before you go on holiday or you can learn to snorkel to discover the amazing underwater sights our very own coastline has to offer. if you want to just try it out then we also do a Try-snorkelling session.
