What to expect
Coasteering means travelling along the rocky coastline by swimming, scrambling and jumping into the sea, with a guide, helmet and wetsuit. Pembrokeshire is widely seen as the birthplace of the sport, and the coast has sea caves, arches and clear water. Sessions are physically demanding and suit confident swimmers aged around eight and over, depending on the provider.
