Matériel fourni
However, slippers, gloves, diving parachute, flashlight and computers are not provided.

For “supervised divers over 20 m” programs, regulations require individual possession of a decompression control instrument and a parachute. In case you forget, you can rent them in our centers.
Type de session
After a short friendly exchange, the instructor quickly introduces the dive site and its particularities (relief, depth, underwater fauna and flora to admire).
The instructor offers some technical exercises for those who are learning. All dives end with exploration of the seabed. The instructor knows the site perfectly and takes the divers directly to the rocks or falls in order to admire the most wildlife.
For “indoor” pit diving courses, go to the edge of the pool with the other participants and the instructor, equip yourself with the equipment on site and then start the training by immersing yourself in water that is always hot.
Advantages of the indoor or outdoor session:
- A dive duration with educational content optimized for the practice environment
- An individualized follow-up of their progress with a systematic “debriefing” at the end of each dive
- A learning progression adapted to each age
Securité
We always ask for a medical certificate of no contraindication to diving issued by a general practitioner (for those over 14), or otherwise a federal or hyperbaric doctor.
This medical certificate is valid for 1 year.
