Advanced Snorkel Instructor - for more advanced snorkelling in open sea from boats. An Open Water Snorkel Instructor and Snorkel Dive Marshal who holds the Advanced Snorkel Lifesaver Award and has taken an Advanced Snorkel Instructor Course at national level and who has passed the subsequent examination.

We also have an administration staff member who takes care of the club funds and membership issues.

You will also occasionally see guest instructors from "No Tanx" Freedive Club who teach relaxation courses to the older members to assist breath holding.

If you are interested in instructing snorkelling then ask B.S.A.C. or Nick, a Snorkel Instructor Trainer, and they can tell you where to start.

Come meet the gang....
