What is Snorkelling?
Snorkelling is great fun, easy to learn and an ideal way to build up confidence in the water. It is accessible to anyone - young or old - and is an enjoyable way to get the whole family involved.
For younger members of the family, snorkelling is also a great introduction to underwater sports and can be their first step towards learning to dive.
BSAC’s snorkelling courses are open to children from the age of six – starting with our Basic Snorkel Diver and progressing to Snorkel Dive Manager or Snorkel Instructor.
You can complete a BSAC snorkel course before you go on holiday or you can learn to snorkel to discover the amazing underwater sights our very own coastline has to offer.
A good source for this information is the BSAC publication "Snorkelling For All", which covers all these topics in detail (available from the BSAC Shop)
We also train and coach underwater hockey (see "What is Underwater Hockey?)
