Programmes designed to support every stage of your journey into the ocean.
From first-time experiences to ongoing participation, our programmes create safe, supportive pathways to build confidence, skills and connection with the sea.
Our Programmes
At Ocean Awareness, our programmes are designed to meet people where they are — whether stepping into the ocean for the first time or continuing to build confidence and skills. Each programme combines safety, fun and learning, creating an environment where participants can develop at their own pace while connecting with the ocean and each other.
Each programme offers a different way to experience the ocean — from structured learning and group sessions to exploration, wellbeing and outdoor adventure.
Benefits
Spending time in, on or near the ocean supports physical health, mental wellbeing and social connection.
Stories from the Shore
Participants, parents and partners regularly share the impact of their experience with Ocean Awareness.
Both of our children really enjoyed the Dolphin Sessions. They progressed nicely over the summer in a safe, fun environment with expert guidance. The pay-as-you-go format offers the flexibility busy families need. Highly recommend.

The club sessions gave my kids and me so much. Being part of a surfing community, watching their confidence grow, and knowing they were supervised by trained instructors gave real peace of mind.

The lads absolutely loved it. They were stoked and genuinely appreciative of the opportunity — something I didn’t expect them to articulate so clearly.

Brian was an amazing instructor — patient, understanding and completely tuned into Aarav’s needs. To describe Aarav’s experience: excitement before, joy during, and longing for the next session.

My son, who has trouble with his balance, was able to stand up on the board in the third session. A great instructor, amazing with kids — a true professional
