The session begins at the dive school where participants receive a safety briefing and guidance on snorkelling techniques to help improve their skills in the water. Following a gentle pre-snorkel stretch routine, you will be suited up with all necessary equipment provided by trusted suppliers. The group then walks just two minutes to the nearby ocean access point, ensuring minimal hassle before entering the water.

The session focuses on both safety and skill development, with instructors maintaining close contact to support each participant and enhance their confidence. The pace is relaxed, allowing time to appreciate the rich underwater environment and build snorkelling competence.
