Each dive is tailored to your level, from supervised beginners to independent divers.
Meet every morning at 8.30am or 9am, depending on the trip, at 178 Quai d’Octave, Port Fréjus.

Our morning dives are open to divers holding at least a Level 1 FFESSM (or PADI Open Water) certification, provided they are accompanied by an instructor.

We also regularly organise trips to the Bay of Saint-Tropez, Anthéor or the Cap Roux nature reserve, one of the best-preserved sites in the Var. Red and yellow sea fans, groupers, scorpionfish, Posidonia… an exceptional dive.
