Email Address. We have news 8th of August From time to time in the lead up to your event, we may contact you with important information. EMS snorkel tours are for all ages, adults and children from 5 years and up. Children under 15 years will need to be accompanied and supervised in water by a paying adult.
For ages 8 and above, no more than 2 children per adult. For ages , no more than one child per adult. A student is defined as any primary or secondary school student or full time tertiary and post-secondary students who have an approved photo ID. Yes as part of the ticket price we supply toasty warm wetsuits with vest and hood, gloves and boots as well as snorkel gear. When participating in an EMS snorkel tour a wetsuit will need to be worn to provide buoyancy, protect from stingers, sunburn and abrasion.
Yes, we encourage you to bring your own gear, but please ensure if you bring your own wetsuit it is full length and appropriate thickness for swimming with the cuttlefish. Beginners normally go out about m from shore into shallow metres of water. The intermediate sessions may go out m from shore and up to m depth. We advise you sign up for an EMS Snorkel class - an introduction to snorkelling where the basics of snorkelling are taught in a controlled pool environment.
See our website for bookings. EMS can also provide boogie boards to hold onto in the water for those with less confidence. What happens if the weather turns and the event is cancelled?
Unfortunately, sometimes the weather does not like to play ball with EMS and events have to be cancelled due to safety concerns. We have heard cuttlefish have arrived at Stony Point early this year, does this mean you will do snorkel tours earlier this year?
Please refer to our booking page for available dates. We may be able to fit a couple more participants into some sessions depending on current number of participants and availability of EMS volunteer guides and paid staff on day.
EMS is a not for profit organisation and all funds raised by our events go back into the organisation to make it more sustainable for the future. Sadly, we have made a loss in past years and have also expected our staff to work for little or no pay to organise and lead CuttleFest.
Volunteers have been out of pocket for vehicle use, food and accommodation. EMS is disappointed to have to charge more this year for cuttlefish snorkel tickets than in the past. At this point in time it is necessary due to the costs of running an event away from Adelaide and the need to provide thick wetsuits, hoods, boots, gloves and suitable fins.
EMS invests a significant amount of funds to train community volunteers first aid, CPR refreshers, oxygen provision and nationally recognised snorkel guide qualifications to ensure safety of our participants.
The first cuttlefish snorkel events were very small scale run over one weekend. In order to expand to a CuttleFest now run over 3 weekend with school and community snorkels during the week we have had to look at pricing to ensure it covers all costs and is sustainable into the future. We thank you for supporting and engaging with EMS, and look forward to bringing you more exciting events in the future!
EMS is committed to offering a welcoming and safe place for our snorkel tour participants, employees and volunteers.
