Tasman Bay Guardians (TBG) will be running an Experiencing Marine Reserves (EMR) community guided drift snorkel during this event. An experienced snorkel guide and all the necessary equipment will be provided for free!

Meet us at the TBG registration tent at the time slot you chose (it will be 9am, 10am, 11am or 12pm) on this Eventbrite site (Tickets were emailed to you after you registered. No need to print ticket).
We will then fit you for gear and match you up with a friendly snorkel guide. You may bring your own gear however, NO full face masks please, for safety reasons. We provide snorkel, mask, fins, wetsuits, boogie boards and fish ID charts.
You'll have a safety briefing before you try out your gear in the shallows and explore the water with your guide and group for up to 20 minutes.
