Snorkel Membership

Recruitment of new snorkel members is currently suspended

Qualified snorkel divers participate in club dive trips and ongoing snorkel diver training. We do our snorkel diving as a branch of the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC), the UK’s leading dive club and the sport’s National Governing Body.

From summer 2025 we are expanding our snorkelling training and openwater trips.

Our outdoor pool is the ideal venue for snorkellers to practice their surface swimming in full wetsuit to keep fit and maintain their finning skills.
