About Our Experiences

These wonderful educational experiences offer the perfect opportunity to understand sharks and the importance of their conservation. To spend time with them is enlightening and mesmerizing, for both the participant and their one free non-participating spectator.

The Skegness Dive & Snorkelling Centre has developed its experiences in partnership with The British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC), and educational partner The Shark Trust to offer you the very best in entry level diver and snorkelling training and shark conservation information.

NEW FOR 2022

We have partnered with Ocean Reef UK/Malta and are using the advanced G-Driver Full Face scuba diving masks to ensure every participant has the best experience possible while maintaining the highest safety standards.

The Shark Educational Dive and Shark Snorkelling Ranger Experiences, which can be booked up to a year in advance, will start from home with an E-Learning process that will prepare participants via an online lesson. Be sure to provide the correct email address when booking to be kept updated about the experience; a new streamlined digital registration form procedure, as well as the e-lesson are all sent electronically. This allows us to complete time consuming paperwork and essential teaching ahead of the event, resulting in participants being prepared in advance for the day.
