2020 Training Programme

Due to the current situation with the Covid-19 virus, for everyone's safety we have decided to close the snorkelling club until after Easter when the situation will be reviewed. Please will everyone check the website regularly as any updates will be posted there. You will be credited with the remaining 3 session when the club resumes.

The training programme aims at sub dividing the year into six periods of nominal five to six weeks duration, accommodating school and public holiday commitments.  Recognising schools have differing term times, the actual dates can at best only be a compromise.


We now offer the Experience Snorkelling and Dolphin Snorkeller courses. Our ‘core’ courses of ‘Snorkel Diver and Advanced Snorkel Diver’ are available throughout the year whilst the more advanced courses are ‘scheduled-in’ as indicated.

All pool and theory instruction is provided free of charge by nationally qualified BSAC snorkel instructors and branch assistant instructors (under the mentoring of the BSAC instructors).

There is however an additional charge for ‘Try dive’ sessions. The scale of charge will be notified prior to the commencement of the session.

Open water sessions will be arranged throughout the summer (subject to weather conditions). Wet suits and all safety equipment are provided on a first come first served basis (the club presently has ten full sets of equipment for open water use).

The scheduling of courses is indicative and may be subject to change. Any change will be notified in advance

Holiday courses are available, which consist of:
  • Full Course - 6 pool sessions and 1 theory lesson
  • Short course - 1 pool session and 1 theory lesson
