Snorkel Diver

Most of us at one time or another have donned a mask, snorkel and fins and headed into the water. The SSI Snorkel Diver programme is designed to give you the skills and concepts needed to explore with confidence and safety. Snorkelling is not just for holidays abroad.  You will be amazed at the wealth of life waiting to be discovered at Selsey, West Sussex and around the UK Coastline. 

The programme is suitable for anyone who enjoys being in the water and wants to be more confident. Whether you are a complete beginner, or looking to improve, and build on your skills your Snorkel Instructor will tailor your course to suit. Suitable for families, couples and individuals looking to get more out of their water experiences. 

You will be with us for between half to three quarters of a day. During the course your Instructor will cover equipment selection, equipment preparation, mask and snorkel skills, finning techniques, working with your buddy, self, and buddy rescue, exit and entry techniques, specialised equipment use, planning and fun!

The course has several variations depending on your experience level, weather, and conditions. You can opt to complete the course in Open Water, your Snorkelling Instructor will take you into the sea* to explore sites from the shore like Selsey Lifeboat Station, East Beach and West Beach.  There is also the option to complete the course in a pool if you want to master the basics before heading into the sea, this is priced at £100 per person.
