HS Snorkel Mon 24th March 11.30am - 3pm - Shack Bay - Bunurong Marine National Park - Inverloch.
About
Join us for a snorkel lesson with OutThere Outdoors followed by a rockpool ramble with Kade Mills (Marine Biologist with the Victorian National Parks Association). Situated in the Bunurong Marine National Park, Shack Bay is a wonderful way to experience our marine sanctuaries.
The regular price for our Snorkel lessons is $75pp, but we're discounting it to $50 for HEN members to encourage home-schooling families to meet up. Min age 8 years old. All participants need to be competent swimmers.
Numbers are strictly limited to 20 participants.
Instructors will show you how to use the gear, go through snorkeling safely, and then take you out to have a look at the underwater environment. Snorkeling introduces you to another world. Almost everyone is surprised when they discover what's under the surface along the Victorian coast. Stingrays, Blue Throat Wrasse, Spiky Globe Fish, and Horseshoe Leatherjackets are just some of the species you can encounter. With a bit of luck, you may even find a Weedy Sea Dragon - shy, but worth looking patiently for.
After the snorkel join Kade Mills (Marine Biologist with the Victorian National Parks Association) as he takes us across the rock pools in search of octopus, brittle sea stars, and brilliantly coloured sea slugs on our reef's intertidal zones.
Outthere provides everything you'll need for a safe and fun session including snorkel, mask, flippers, and full- length 3/2mm wetsuits. Parents and siblings accompanying participants can watch from the comfort of the beach.
All our activities are fully insured and comply with all necessary guidelines as set out by the Education Department and the AAS. All lead instructors have community surf life-saving certificates and first aid. Children's checks are mandatory for all Outthere staff.
*Subject to minimum numbers, tickets will be refunded if the minimum group size is not reached.
