what should i wear?
All passengers should bring warm clothing and sensible footwear and be prepared for all weather conditions! A jacket and a hat, plus sunscreen is a good idea, whether you are swimming or watching.
All swimmers should bring their own swimwear to wear under the wetsuit we provide.
What equipment is provided for swimmers?
All swimmers are fitted with a good quality wetsuit at our base, which comprises of a full 5mm body one piece overall and a 5mm jacket. We also provide a hood, mask, snorkel and fins. In the winter months, gloves and booties are also provided.
what else should i bring?
Swimmers should bring swimwear, towels, and a large bag to carry your clothing and snorkelling gear on board the boat.
Towels can be hired for a small fee plus a bond from the front desk.
If you have forgotten to bring your swimsuit, we have a limited number of swimsuits available for hire, so please enquire at the front desk.
All passengers can bring phones, cameras and GoPros. Remember this is at your own risk; you are out on the open ocean and there is a risk of sea spray getting on your devices. We have GoPro cameras available for hire, and we recommend reserving one in advance as they are in high demand. Please note that there is not a photographer on board.
Please also bring sea sickness medication with you if you are prone to motion sickness. Sea Legs (medication) and ginger tablets are available at the front desk.
Refreshments are not available to purchase on the boat. We have an onsite Café at base that does great breakfast and lunch to eat in or takeaway. You are welcome to bring your own water and snacks with you on board.
Can i bring my own snorkelling gear?
You are welcome to bring your own gear. You can also mix and match with the gear we provide, e.g. bring your own mask, snorkel and fins whilst using our wetsuit, jacket and hood.
Please note that full face snorkel masks are not permitted on our tours for safety reasons.
Prior authorisation must be sought for use of weight belts, and their use is at the discretion of the Skipper and subject to sea conditions on the day - please contact our Customer Service Team for more information on this.
can i wear prescription glasses while i swim?
Contact lenses can be worn with masks, but glasses cannot. We have a range of prescription masks (corrective lenses) available for those who are near sighted. The prescriptions range from -2.00 to -8.00.
