We begin the snorkeling experience at our center in Glencairn where you will be briefed and fitted with equipment. The chosen snorkeling location is weather dependent as we want to be sure to select the best location in terms of visibility and calmness for the day. If ocean conditions are favourable then we might snorkel at our local kelp forest in Glencairn.
However, most days we go to Windmill Beach in Simons Town. All locations are shore entries. We do not use a boat. Depending on the location, we may encounter fish, octopus, a variety of shy sharks, sea stars, anemones, brittle stars, abalone and other wonderful creatures.
We have on occasion been curiously eyed by passing seals, stingrays and penguins. It is always a surprise and we never know what the ocean will reveal. Our guides will help you enter the water, get comfortable with your equipment, point out interesting marine life and provide a buoy to hold onto if needed. After we are done snorkeling, we debrief and change into our clothes.
Participants have the option of departing from the snorkeling site if they have their own vehicle or accompanying us back to our center in Glencairn.
We are on the 1st floor of the Summer Place complex in Glencairn. The address is 14 Glen Rd, but some maps recognise it as Glencaird Rd.
