What people are saying!

  • "Wonderful. My boys and I had a brilliant hour snorkelling with Katie. Her knowledge of the area, the conditions and the sea life we would see was superb made the session something none of us will forget. Thank you Katie. "
  • "Absolutely lovely, magical Snorkel, the seaweed is like swimming through a fantasy world. Katie found us spider crabs, beautiful jellies and lots of wrass. So good to be snorkelling after nearly 4 years of not diving. "
  • "From start to finish, our snorkelling experience was perfect. I must admit, I was a little apprehensive but Katie made me feel comfortable and calm. I went along with my 10 year old daughter and Katie kept an eye on her while I was gaining my confidence! We learnt so much about the sea, snorkelling and the beautiful seaweeds. It was a truly magical experience with a wonderful lady. Thank you! xx"
  • "An amazing experience for both of us - Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion of the sea and for making us feel safe and comfortable in the water. We saw so much we were not expecting to and we can’t wait to go again. Thanks again and hope to see you soon - happy bubbles!!!!"
  • "Amazing experience - a new world under the water. If you aren’t sure - give it a go - can’t wait to return - thank you Katie x"
  • "Such a lovely morning- it was so interesting and so beautiful and right from the start Katie is so warm and welcoming and reassuring. She is absolutely the perfect person to be showing people this gorgeous world under the waves:) xx"
  • "The snorkel safari was brilliant a great experience for the whole family. We had no idea there was so much to discover in the water around mount’s bay… so many sea creatures and beautiful colours you felt like you were discovering a secret world. Katie is a fantastic guide she is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic we learnt so much from her. We cannot wait to book again Thanks katie "
  • "Katie provided a warm welcome and clear explanation of what the introductory session would entail and what a safe environment it was for a ‘taster session’. The experience was magical, seeing the many different types and colours of kelp, spider crabs, starfish, sand eels and various other fish. A truly memorable experience. "
  • "Had the most amazing experience snorkelling with Katie. She is so knowledgeable on the beautiful plants and animals and her enthusiasm is catching. This is a must do as it was like being in an underwater fantasy garden, the colours of the plants and sea life was spectacular. Thanks Katie you are brilliant. "
  • "I think you already know this, but... I had a brilliant time!! I wouldn't have even got in if it wasn't for you, and now I can say I'd happily go in without tutoring. It's amazing what an hour (well, a bit more thanks to your generosity!) can do for confidence in the water. Thank you."

NEW: I am now offering snorkelling as part of wellbeing retreats
