BEST CAMP EVER!

My son and his cousin have just finished the 2-day kids camp. In their words 'BEST CAMP EVER' They absolutely loved everything about it. Although exhausted they haven't stopped chatting about it and can't wait to go back again next year. I highly recommend this camp!

best 3 days of his holidays!

My 10 year old son had the best 3 days of his holidays at the Oceans of Discovery camp. The instructors made it fun and educational both in the water and on land. He enjoyed it so much I have him booked back in for 2 more days and his sister will now be joining him.

Interactive firs aid training for adults & children

Really enjoyed the First Aid training today. Dave made it very relatable and took the fear of doing something away. He made it very simple and straightforward. Would highly recommend. Also, 6th class found it very interesting and engaging. He really held their attention and made it relatable to them also

Bringing the marine world to school!

The boys thought Dave brought the marine world to them and made the subject really interesting. It was very educational. The boys picked up a lot of useful tip. The lesson was also really fun. We thought it was cool to hold the pilot whale spine. The teachers & children felt that Dave was very enthusiastic about the topic and we learnt a lot about the environment and how important it is to take care of it and the seas/oceans.
