About Tonic of the Sea

Hi, I'm Katie, founder of Tonic of the Sea.

My passion for nature and the ocean has led me to spend countless hours snorkelling, sea swimming and exploring Cornwall's coastline, developing a deep understanding of the marine life and habitats found in our local waters.

I founded Tonic of the Sea to share that passion with others and help people experience the ocean in a way that is fun, mindful and inspiring. My work has also led to appearances on BBC programmes and award winning film productions, where I've had the opportunity to showcase Cornwall's incredible marine environment to wider audiences.

I believe that connecting people with nature is one of the most powerful ways to support wellbeing and inspire conservation. Through every snorkel, rockpool ramble and marine wildlife experience, my goal is simple: to help people discover the magic of the sea and experience its restorative power for themselves and to share it with others. 

My favourite part of every snorkel experience is seeing someone put their head under the water for the first time and watching their face light up with wonder. +Those moments remind me why connecting people with the ocean is so important.

I believe the sea has a unique ability to restore and inspire us. Slowing down to observe wildlife in its natural environment encourages mindfulness, reduces stress and helps us reconnect with nature and ourselves.

Through guided snorkelling, rockpooling and marine wildlife experiences, I hope to inspire a greater appreciation for our oceans and the importance of protecting these precious habitats for future generations.

Come and discover the magic beneath the surface and experience the tonic of the sea for yourself.
