Details
Dive to 6 metres into a magnificent setting with our trial dive in the Estérel Natural Park or Lérins Islands. You will discover a new world, accompanied by colourful and sparkling fish. Our state-certified instructors will teach you all the basics of scuba diving, including the use of equipment, communication codes and safety rules. All participants will dive for 20 minutes, and in the meantime you can snorkel around the boat! Dive area
Depending on the weather conditions of the day and your wishes, we will either go to the natural park of Estérel or to the Lérins Islands. The first destination will offer you a unique landscape thanks to the red colour of the rocks of the park, contrasting with the turquoise water, while the second destination will impress you with its rich underwater flora and fauna! Programme
We look forward to seeing you at our dive centre in Mandelieu-la-Napoule at the booked time, where you will meet your diving instructor. If you come by car, you will find parking spaces nearby. Then we will hand over the equipment and board our boat to the dive site of the day. Then, you will dive 1 by 1 with the guide, and when the other participants pass by, you will be able to snorkel, or rest on the boat while observing the beautiful scenery around you. Finally, after 4 hours of activity, we will return to the dive centre.
The excursion lasts approximately 4 hours in total, including the round-trip navigation and the time spent at anchor.Included services

Incredible experience! The instructors immediately made us feel very comfortable during the dive. It was a great gift idea for my husband's 30th birthday, and we loved it! We're already eager to do it again soon. I highly recommend it! 🤿🎉

It was our first time diving, and we felt very well taken care of. The team was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was great, and they even provided snacks. An experience we will definitely repeat.
