Our fully qualified BSAC Snorkel Instructors will cover basic snorkelling techniques, followed by a guided snorkel around Wembury Bay's famous rocky reefs, searching for and identifying underwater marine life as we go! We always follow our Seashore Code ethos of enjoying and respecting marine life through observation without disturbing.
Our snorkel safaris are suitable for children and adults, including beginners who would like to learn how to snorkel, or more advanced snorkellers who would enjoy the company of a group. Full kit can be provided and is included in the cost, but we do require a £20 cash deposit per person on the day, which will be returned provided no kit is lost or damaged. If you plan to bring your own gear, then we recommend a 5mm full length wetsuit and separate snorkel and mask (not a full face snorkel).
Children must be 8 years or over to take part and all participants must be competent swimmers. Parents/guardians of children snorkelling must stay on the shore to meet them when they exit the water. If you would like to join your child in the water and experience our stunning underwater world, then you will also need to purchase a ticket.
Please note, changing time and an introductory talk in the Marine Centre is included in the 2.5 hour event time - we are usually in the water for around 1 hour.
Snorkelling in open water is an activity which requires general physical fitness and good health. Please contact us before booking if you/your child has a history of diabetes, epilepsy (blackouts), perforated eardrums, high blood pressure, or any lung/respiratory disorder, including previously testing positive for COVID-19. You will need to complete and sign a medical disclaimer to this effect before the event.
Please note, National Trust car parking charges apply at Wembury Beach car park (£6/day coins or pay by phone). The beach car park can fill up very quickly on hot, sunny days so please leave plenty of time to park and aim to arrive at the Centre 15mins before the event starts.
Cancellation/Refund Policy: You will be eligible for a refund if you cancel more than 7 days before the event, but please note the Eventbrite booking fee will be deducted. Please request a refund via Eventbrite if you wish to cancel or email us. Any cancellation made within 7 days of the event is not eligible for a refund. If the event is cancelled by us due to severe weather, you will receive a full refund.
