Why study this workbook?
- This is a workbook for high school students wishing to attain the physical fitness and ocean situation awareness skills necessary to snorkel with their family and friends after they leave school.
- It is not a manual for snorkelling instructors, nor a guide for commercial operators who run snorkelling tours as part of their business.
- None the less, if you want to get a job as a snorkelling worker, this workbook addresses many of the issues commercial snorkelling operators face and may serve as a useful introduction of what you can expect from your prospective employer.
- There are plenty of publications that describe these requirements and can usually be found on Government websites that assist with workplace health and safety issues. For example www.worksafe.qld.gov.au
- Snorkelling is studied in schools in most Australian states and your teacher will have organised a course that matches the curriculum.
- This edition has been organised with the basics first, so if you are completing a marine science course, with a few pool sessions before your trip and snorkelling in a supervised tour, sections 1-3 may only apply. However if you want to work in the industry, the complete workbook gives you an insight into the course material you need to study.
