Snorkel Guide - £148.00
The course aims will stipulate the boundaries where snorkel guiding can take place. There will be an element of understanding and practical sessions looking at emergencies and what to do. Having found out the level of experience of the student group you will be able to define the limits of operation. For example – if there are no qualified boat drivers then any snorkel guiding will need to start and finish on the shore until someone is qualified. In the event that there is no requirement to run snorkel activities from a boat then this is also acceptable.

Medical fitness to snorkel
In order to learn to dive, you must be declared as medically fit to do so. This is done through a self-certification form which can be downloaded online. If you select yes to any of the questions in the form, you will need to contact a UKDMRC medical referee to confirm you are fit to dive.
You do not need to complete a medical to begin BSAC eLearning, however, BSAC is not liable if you complete training and are then declared medically unfit to dive.
