Looking for the chance to learn to snorkel safely, build your confidence and have fun, whilst being taught by fully qualified BSAC instructors? Then join COAST for one of our snorkel taster sessions!

The sessions are suitable for all abilities, from beginners to more advanced snorkellers and are limited to 6 participants per session. Participants will learn how to use and fit equipment, how to snorkel safely and then be taken on a snorkelling session to discover some of the underwater treasures that Arran has to offer. Each session will last up to three hours, consisting of equipment familiarisation, a safety briefing, kitting up and an in-water session. All equipment can be provided, and is included in the price, although clients who have their own gear are welcome to use it.

Cancellation/Refund Policy:

* If the event is cancelled due to unfavourable weather (at the instructors discretion) or unforseeen circumstances, we will where possible reschedule to another event. Alternatively, you will be entitled to a full refund.

* If you are unable to attend the event, we will offer a full refund if the cancellation is made no later than one week before the date of the event.

* Any cancellation made within one week of the event date will not be eligible for a refund

* The instructors reserve the right to refuse participation in the event if they suspect client(s) are under the influence of alcohol/drugs - in this instance the session would be non-refundable.
