You won't need any prior experience because you'll be fully covered from head to toe in neoprene and have a high-quality buoyancy aid, so you'll float really well. Our Salcombe Coasteering Experience provides a more sheltered environment, fewer swimming hazards, and a lot of opportunities to get out of the water for first-timers (especially in open water). We will provide all the equipment, but please bring your own shoes. You will need trainers or walking shoes with laces and decent soles, and make sure they are still relatively intact. Since we will be walking on uneven, rocky terrain that can be slippery at times, we will need walking shoes or trainers that provide good support. It is not recommended to wear neoprene rock shoes without laces or pull cords.
