The course instruction lasts about 6 weeks and is ideal for people of all ages wanting to learn to snorkel before going on their holiday or waiting until they are old enough to go onto full diving.

Once qualified, you can then come down on a Thursday and practice using your equipment on your own for the rest of your years membership.
