Snorkel with the Sea Dragons

Snorkeling is a fun activity for the family – even for non-swimmers!

Your tour begins with a greeting from our friendly and highly experienced guides followed by demonstration on equipment usage and terminology, in water communication and to finish a short presentation on what marine life you can expect to encounter. Once geared up its a short walk to the Portsea Pier and upon entering and gazing beneath the waters surface you will be immediately gliding over the first of many coral beds and sea grass meadows. The mesmerizing underwater world is home to an abundance of Fish, Crabs, Sea Stars, Cuttlefish, Smooth Rays and the famous Weedy Sea Dragons.

The 30-minute session is with a qualified snorkeling instructor before the tour begins and is designed to boost confidence in the ocean prior to beginning the tour. During this time your instructor will take you through all you need to know about snorkeling, including how to use all the gear efficiently, provide easy tips and swimming techniques and get you into the water early to practice before you all joining the rest of the group on the tour.

Pack for the Beach – bathers, towel, hat & sunscreen as well as a warm, dry change of clothes.

Non-Swimmers 
We understand it may be your first time and that is totally okay! Our snorkeling tours are run from the beach and we walk into the water. All guides and instructors on your tour will have a life ring available to hold onto for the duration of your snorkel. Your thick wetsuit is also extremely buoyant so you will be able to easily float on top of the water. We want to ensure you get the most out of your snorkeling tour, so please let us know before you arrive if you have any questions, concerns or to find out more about the snorkeling skills session.
