What do we do?\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

This section of the club exists to teach young and old how to safely enjoy the sport of snorkelling, and to introduce you to the fantastic world under the sea.<\/p>\n

Courses<\/h2>\n

The club training is based on progressing through a series of BSAC courses.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have a number of dedicated Snorkel Instructors including our latest instructor, Jo Watson, who was featured in Scuba magazine!<\/p>\n

Theory lectures are given to complement practical sessions in the pool (much of this is similar to topics covered in Science at school). Advancement occurs at your own pace, through several grades:<\/p>\n
