Adventure is it Dangerous?
We want you to enjoy your Coasteering / SUP experience with Saltwater Safari but, need you to be aware that there is a degree of risk involved in all adventure sports. The level of real, as opposed to perceived risk associated with the activities is low. Saltwater Safari places safety as a top priority and aims to minimise the risks by:
- Carrying out careful risk assessments before commencing the activity
- Only using experienced instructors with appropriate skills & qualifications for each activity
- Giving clear safety instructions to everyone participating, before and during the activity
- Ensuring equipment and clothing is well-maintained and suitable for the activity and environment
- Ensuring activities are within the capabilities of the participants
- Asking participants to supply information relating to any medical conditions
Your responsibilities...
In addition to Saltwater Safari’s role in ensuring your safety, all participants must accept responsibility for their own safety and that of other members of the group. Specifically, your responsibilities are:
Instructions – Please listen to and follow all safety instructions given to you both before and during the activity.
Questions – Please ask the instructor responsible for your group if, at any time you feel unsure of what to do or whether to do something.
Medical – Please complete the medical declaration to make us aware of medical condition(s) or injuries, past or present, which may affect or make ill-advised your participation in any activity. We can then agree with you whether or not you should participate.
Fears / Phobias – Before commencing any activity, please ensure that we are aware of any major concerns, fears or phobias about the situation(s) in which you are choosing to place yourself. We will work with you to help ease your feelings of discomfort/apprehension/fear, & ensure that you are as comfortable as possible.
Drugs / Alcohol – it is potentially highly dangerous to participate in any activity whilst under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Saltwater Safari reserves the right to prevent any person participating in any activity, should we suspect that they may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
What do I need to bring...?
A towel, drinking water and warm clothes to change into after your Saltwater Safari adventure. Sun screen and/or a woolly hat is also recommended.
Do I need a wetsuit or specialist kit...?
For coasteering – we provide you with a winter wetsuit, buoyancy aid and safety helmet.
We ask that you wear an old pair of trainers / wetsuit boots (whilst coasteering) and also recommend you wear a pair of shorts over your wetsuit.
For SUP – we provide you with a stable soft top SUP and paddle and can provide you with a winter wetsuit but, in the summer your own shortie or summer wetsuit should be sufficient.
Why don't you provide a buoyancy aid for SUP...?
Do I need to be able to swim...?
Where will I get changed...?
Is there a toilet in the car park? ...?
