We need volunteers to join us on our Shoresearch events around the Selsey area. We are currently monitoring three sites, each has a different feel when exploring. What is Shoresearch? It is a volunteer programme that allows you to take part to help our coasts. The Sussex Shoresearch volunteer program is coordinated by the Sussex Wildlife Trust and forms part of a national programme of Shoresearch recording led by The Wildlife Trusts. Mulberry Marine Experiences are working in partnership with Sussex Wildlife Trust to offer more opportunities for you to take part. The aim is to build a baseline of data on the wildlife that is living in the intertidal ecosystem around Sussex, that can be used to improve understanding and promote conservation. What Happens? The events are timed to coincide with low water so we can conduct a walk over survey recording the species that we find and the habitats where they are living. Each event will last for around 2-3 hours and involve walking, wading and exploration of rocky areas. Who is it suitable for? Suitable for anyone over 12, but all children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult. We do offer some junior events for younger children that want to be included, they will be advertised a Junior Shoresearch. Do I need to be an expert in Marine Life? No. All you need is eagle eyes and a sense of adventure. Cameras are welcome and we are happy to arrange events for school groups, and educational facilities All shoresearch events are provide free of charge and run by first aid trained members of the Mulberry team.

We know from experience that keen younger snorkellers can stuggle to find sessions designed for them. The Junior Snorkel Club Sessions are a way for them to have fun whilst you stay dry. All the meets are staffed by Mulberry Marine Experiences. We provide a briefing, advice and surface cover whilst they are in the water, with every member of staff fully first aid trained. Each club session runs for a maximum of two and half hours and are for those aged between 8 and 15. For younger snorkellers ask us about pool sessions and the Explorers Club. We do require that all Juniors (under 15 years of age ) are certified as SSI Snorkel Divers (or equivalent) or have a Basic Freediver certification or above. Monthly sessions will be offered at Selsey, in the sea for the summer and then pool over the winter. In addition Juniors are welcome to join the other club meet dates when we head off to over locations and you are welcome to join the fun. What is included? Surface Cover Briefing We will ensure that they have a buddy. Equipment hire is included as a benefit to those who have purchased the Unlimited Plan/ Snorkel Club Training Membership. If you prefer to book individual sessions then equipment can be hired - just include a note with your booking and we will reach out to arrange. My child does not have a Snorkel Diver or Freediver certification can they join the club sessions? These are designed for Juniors who are already certifed as we are not in the water. We can offer trianing as needed and for 2026 are offering a package to let you train as a snorkeller and join sessions at a special price. How do I know if the Unlimited Plan is the best one for me? If you think you will attend more than 3 sessions in year and do not require trianing then the Unlimited Plan will be the best option for you. I want to join the snorkel club meets when you travel further afield is there a price difference? No we charge the same amount however you are responsible for your own travel and accommodation if you need. On these meets there are often chances to have a second session for the same price!

At Mulberry Marine Experiences we know that not everyone has a buddy or opportunity to go diving as often they would like and when new to a site you may not be sure of currents, conditions and best times to go diving. Our Marshalled shore dives are designed to help solve these concerns for our certified divers. Selsey is fortunate to have an accessible shore dive along East Beach, that allows you to explore the Marine Conservation Zone laying just off the beach. We have regular and seasonal visitors that include cat sharks, rays, pipefish, seahorses, nudibranchs, crabs, wrasse, anemones and much more. With a maximum depth of 6 metres there is plenty of time for exploring, creature spotting and for taking pictures. Every Marshalled Dive is supported by Mulberry Staff who are first aid trained and ready to assist. They will meet you and make introductions to buddy pairs if you have not met before, provide you with a full briefing for the site and then stay as surface cover for your dive. We include 12L cylinders with air and 10 kg block weight on a belt as part of the booking, if you do not require just drop us an email. Your surface cover will meet you on Lifeboat Station Green 30 minutes before estimated dive time, so we recommend that you have set up your equipment ready for the briefing. You must have a DSMB and reel each and a timing device. Selsey is a working beach and DSMBs are essential. I do not have a buddy can I book on a Marshalled Dive? Yes, we will match you up and make introductions before the briefing. Please be aware the price is based on a minimum of 3 divers for the event. I have never dived in the UK are these suitable for me? They make a great first sea dive experience in the UK. Can I hire other equipment? Yes, we do offer equipment rental, why not check out the pricing plans to include equipment with you dive and save a little money. We do not hire mask, snorkels, gloves, hoods, DSMBS and Reels (included with some wet suits). All equipment must be hired in advance please contact us with your requirements.
