It’s safe – our guides are always in the water beside you to ensure it is great for non swimmers or anyone else who is not confident. It’s low stress – no complicated equipment to use, no water on your face (you can wear glasses or contacts), your makeup stays on and your hair stays dry!  Minimum 12yrs old
