Scuba diving and snorkelling carry real risks, including drowning and pressure injuries, even in a pool. They can cause serious injury or death. Please read our risk warning before you book.

What we'll do

We start on the surface, in water you can stand in. You’ll learn the three things that matter — how to breathe, how to clear your mask, how to tell us you’re okay — and then we go under together, slowly.

In the pool or at the beach, we stay within 5 metres and you set the pace. Bring a friend if you like: we take up to two people who book together.

What you walk away with: A taste of scuba in pool-like conditions, no deeper than 5 m. No exam, no homework — just breathing underwater.

Good questions

Before you ask

Do I need any previous diving or snorkelling experience?

Not at all! Many of our experiences are designed for complete beginners. We'll explain everything beforehand and take you through the experience step by step, at a pace you're comfortable with.

What do I need to bring?

Just your swimwear, a towel, a water bottle and a positive attitude! We provide the scuba and snorkelling equipment you need, and we'll let you know if there's anything else to bring for your particular experience.

What happens if I'm nervous or don't feel comfortable in the water?

That's completely okay — and actually one of the reasons we created M&M. There is never any pressure to continue. We'll take our time, explain things clearly and work at your pace. Our private sessions let us adapt the experience to you.

What is the minimum age?

It depends on the experience. Try Dives in the pool and Scuba Wellness sessions are available from 8 years old; for Basic Diver, Scuba Diver and snorkel trips the minimum age is 10, and 12 for a Skills Update. If you're booking for a child, contact us and we'll help you choose the right experience.
