About us
Explore the underwater world of the UK’s first National Marine Park in Plymouth with the help of our Ocean Discovery Rangers.
The OCT Snorkel Academy offers the chance to join our amazing team of Ocean Conservationists at Mount Batten Beach! Whether a beginner or seeking a summer Ocean adventure, there’s something for everyone. Join us for limited-edition Snorkel Safari badges and unforgettable memories.
Our Rangers are all BSAC or PADI certified snorkel instructors, who are also marine biologists! This means you can feel both safe and educated in the sea! For all sessions, wetsuits and snorkel equipment will be provided. Please let us know at the time of booking what sizes you require.
Snorkel Safari (Ages 12+): For those that have snorkelled before or are confident sea swimmers. Brush up on snorkelling basics and join our Snorkel Safaris at Mount Batten—featuring rock shore habitat, kelp meadows, and flooded rockpools!
Beginner Snorkelling (Ages 8+): Build confidence in rockpools before venturing into the sea, exploring kelp forests teeming with spider crabs, pollack, and sea bass.*
Sensory Friendly Snorkelling (Ages 8+): Tailored for those with sensory processing issues, these sessions offer reduced capacity and close support, starting in rockpools and moving into kelp forests at a relaxed pace.*
