SNORKELLING EXPERIENCE
THE SEA, ONCE IT CASTS ITS SPELL, HOLDS ONE IN ITS NET OF WONDER FOREVER.
- JACQUES COUSTEAU
HOW IT ALL HAPPENS
On your adventure, we will arrange a meeting point and make acquaintance. We will then move on by foot to our designated snorkelling spot on a beautiful piece of Cornish coastline, usually around the Falmouth/Lizard area.
You will have received a full itinerary before this, highlighting the location, suggesting what to bring and what to wear to ensure we are all set for our adventure.
On arrival at our spot, we highlight the wonderful nature and wildlife that thrives around us and a brief, but concise, 'how to' talk follows, detailing the principles and ideology of underwater exploration, including a full safety brief - and then we focus on the incredible underwater world beneath us.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our Cornwall Snorkelling Adventure is a supervised water tour to explore the beauty of our much loved Cornish Coast. If you are unfamiliar with the area, or/and want to gain more experience under the supervision of a professional then this is the perfect adventure for you!
We’ll be hoping to spot some incredible marine life such as starfish, anemones, crayfish, lobsters, jellyfish, sponges, crabs, wrasse, gurnards and sea cucumbers. More seasonal dependant species are cuttlefish, conger eels, octopus and maybe even an inquisitive seal!
==========================================
If you would like to join us for an adventure, you will need:
to be competent in the water.
to have your own mask, fins, snorkel and wetsuit. (You can hire all of this from us for a small fee).
to understand that you will be entering the water at your own risk.
YOUR SNORKELLING GUIDE
Shannon Witter was 7 years old when she first fell in love with the sea.
Being in and around the water isn’t just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle in which she turned into a career at 20 years old after discovering scuba diving!
With over 5 years of professional scuba and snorkelling experience, Shannon wants to give you an underwater adventure that will instill the same passion in you to carry on your own love of the blue!
OUTDOOR SAFETY
The Cornish Coast is one of the most beautiful places in the UK, and we want as many people to experience the underwater world as possible.
As stunning as it is, the sea can also be unpredictable and your safety is paramount to us, so snorkel tours will be cancelled at the discretion of your instructor if conditions are deemed too hazardous.
The perfect site will be chosen 2-3 days before, based on weather and tides and we will email you with the full plan.
Please note that you must be a competent swimmer and in reasonable health before booking onto a tour. Minimum age for this adventure is 14.
A full refund will be issued if your adventure is cancelled due to weather conditions.
CHOOSE YOUR SNORKELLING ADVENTURE
Each of our Cornwall Snorkelling Adventures consists of a three hour guided session, with at least one hour in the water. We will be surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery in the country.
Our guided trips can cater for both pairs/couples, families and groups.
If you'd like to talk through your requirements before you book, then please just give us a shout.
Please do get in touch before booking to check if your desired dates are available via email or phone.
Please make sure you read and understand the cancellation policy below before booking any trips, as we are reliant on the weather at times, which we cannot control.
CANCELLATION POLICY
IF YOU CANCEL
If you have booked an adventure and you cancel it with less that 24 hours notice, then we will expect you to pay the cost of that session. If you cancel an adventure with more than 24 hours notice then any funds paid by you, minus a cancellation fee of £20 will be repaid to you in full within 3 working days.
IF WE CANCEL
On occasion we may have to cancel an Adventure. This may occur because of a number of reasons, such as that the weather conditions are not suitable, or the location is unavailable.
If a cancellation occurs in this situation, then we will offer you another scheduled Adventure without further charge to you or offer you a refund of our fees for that Adventure, which will be paid within 5 working days.
