Here are some common questions and answers which we hope you will find useful. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitiate to get in contact via our Contact Us Page.
Membership Questions:
KEJSC believes in equal opportunities for all and supports the BSAC Diving for All Programme. However, we must be mindful that the sport of snorkelling can be dangerous, so membership can be restricted on ground of safety.
We have many members within our ranks that have various disibilities, including both mental and physical issues. Many members have reported that because the sport is non competitive, and generally in a weightless environment, it has in fact benfitted their conditions. So we are always keen to help where we can.
We strive to include everyone where possible, however please note, we do not have specific equipment, training or facilities to deal with severe disibility cases.
If you wish to join us and have a specific concern, please get in contact to discuss your issue.
Examples of previous issues we have supported include, Aspegers, Depression, ADD, Mild Personality Disorders. Limb disformatiy/displacia, epilepsy and diabetes.
For more specific or severe conditions there is the Diveability organisation who can supply more detailed support and advice.
If you need more advice or wish to discuss specific needs then by all means email us via our Contact Us Page and we will get back to you asap…
We aim to respond within 24 hours, but its usually much faster…
How Do I sign Up?
Joining us is easy. Just check our Eligibility Page, and our Membership Page for full details on what to do.
We ask if more than one child (eg Siblings) wishes to join, a new form be completed for each.
What equipment do I need?
You won’t need anything at first as we have a stock of club kit for you to use. That way you can make an informed decision that you like the sport before paying out for new equipment.
Please note that pool or beach shops do not supply the correct equipment, so any equipment you do bring with you will need to be assed for suitability.
We currently charge £30 per month for ten months via a direct debit scheme. This covers all training, pool fees. Membership to the British Sub Aqua Club (Required), the governing body of snorkelling in the UK, includes 3rd party liability insurance up to £10 million, and is currently set at £20 per year. This fee is taken on initial sign up with the club fees.
There is a family club discount for two siblings at £50 per month via direct debit. Any more siblings are charged an additional £25 per head per month after that.

Prices are subject to change without notice and nothing contained in this website guarentees prices or membership. Prices correct at the time of writing.
How old do I have to be?
Snorkelling is a brilliant sport for anyone aged 8-80 year old.
However, we as a club are a specialist youth club. We accept new members from the age of 8yrs and up. We find most members join us about age 10yrs.
We do accept younger members but they must be very strong swimmers and be able to comprehend the training and are only accepted in special circumstances.
Please note that while we accept members up to 16 years old, we do find that the average age of students is approx 9-11 years. Older students may wish to consider this in terms of peer ages so that they do not feel uncomfortable being the oldest. We aim to include everyone, but it can be hard to resolve individual perceptions when at younger ages, the gap can seem quite large.
If you are older, and feel this may not be what your looking for, you may wish to seek advice on alternatives, such as scuba or freediving. We do have excellent contacts and will be happy to advise you accordingly on request.
