Welcome

My name is Cornelia, and I’m delighted you are here.

I have always been a “water-baby” and realised in 2020 that Ireland has a wonderful underwater world to explore.
What fascinates me most is how much we can see from shore.

It is rare that you leave the water disappointed; Ireland has a lot to offer.
Since then, I have been snorkelling or freediving year-round, and I created my Instagram page in 2021 to find like-minded people.
At first, I organised meet-ups, met so many friends, and learned a lot about weather reading, reading sea charts, safety, and marine life.

Eventually, this turned into a guided service, which I am so happy to offer. I have a lot of different certifications under my belt (freediving (SSI, Molchanov, Apnea Total) because I love learning from different teachers. I am a snorkel instructor and PADI-certified snorkel tour guide and trained first responder.

Mindful experiences, community & connection and high-quality services describe me pretty well.

For any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Enjoy!🤿
