“Being a volunteer at EMS is good because you open the opportunity to experience marine sanctuaries to people who perhaps wouldn’t have the opportunity otherwise. I have learnt about cool stuff like marine life and how to teach people to snorkel. I have been involved in snorkel guiding and CuttleFest in Whyalla. Being with a group of volunteers is fun and fulfilling as you get to spend time with like-minded people that care about the same things as you.”

“I volunteered at lots of different snorkelling experiences like Second Valley and Port Willunga. I like volunteering with EMS because I learned to work through new experiences, assisting participants, and the different types of equipment I can use when I’m snorkelling. I really liked snorkelling with guides who help me recognise different species and understand how to help them survive in the wild. Serving at the registration desk was fun and informative. I would recommend volunteering with EMS to people around my age!”

“I volunteered with my mum on the Eyre Peninsula trip, Yorke Peninsula trip, CuttleFest, and at Port Noarlunga. I enjoyed snorkelling in various places and learning from the snorkel guides. It feels really safe, organised, and everyone is friendly. Working on the registration desk was a good experience for me as a teenager.”
