If you have read my about me page, you’ll know freediving is a hobby of mine. After being  introduced to snorkelling at age 6, and taking up underwater photography in my teenage years, an opportunity to increase my time underwater and exploring more depth was a real draw. Freediving is the ritual of holding your breath and diving to depths “free” from diving equipment. In this case, to explore the magic of the sea’s wildlife

Whenever we think of snorkelling, we imagine warms seas filled with tropical colourful fish. While there’s no denying those locations are very appealing, it should be remembered that Britain has a lot to offer. I decided to become a marine biologist based on being fascinated by the underwater world I discovered in Devon. I thought it would be good to write a blog about snorkelling in the UK to help inspire and engage people with
