Why Snorkel?

like golf or tennis, the fastest/ easiest way to reach your full potential and enjoyment is through practice and training via a course. We have been training skin divers since 197O. There are plenty of divers who are in their seventies diving for fitness, fresh food & a love of the sea, with lots of kids seven years old or less at their side. Anyone can be a great snorkeller.

suits are buoyant. You are an astronaut weightless in inner space. And it’s the safest way to build water confidence. It’s an activity for the whole family, no winners or losers here, unlike rugby or basketball.  It’s a non-contact sport. Fitness comes with experience but there’s no need to feel you should keep up with the rest of the group. Skin diving is about going at your own pace and being in your own space.

​You can unwind all the areas of your body snorkeling - twisting and turning over 360 degrees. Dive like a seal, barrel rolls and looping for stretching those hard to get at areas. Exiting from a dive you will be comfortably fatigued & relaxed. This is a sport where size and strength don't count.
