The equipment
We'll kit the students up in our high quality gear, making sure they get the best fit to keep them warm and comfortable in the water. The students will learn to use new equipment that might be challenging for some, but through learning new skills and perseverance they will end up feeling rewarded and accomplished.
The Marine Reserve
The students will learn about sustainability, why we should protect different habitats, and why we should make better choices for tomorrow. They'll learn about identifying fish and that some are not as scary as they seem.

Safety in the water
One of our main priorities is that the students are safe and comfortable in the water - before we jump in we will explain how to look after each other and how to stay safe while we snorkel. This will teach the students risk management, risk awareness and how to look out for each other.
The adventure!
After final checks on the beach, we head into the water and let another world takes us away. The students will get to see wild life such as Snapper, Eagle Rays, Mokies, schools of Sweep or Silver Drummer up close. They will see kelp forests and be blown away that this underwater world is just of our beach.
