Details
Have you always dreamed of exploring the seabed? Discover the rich underwater life and experience the incredible feeling of breathing underwater. Our state-certified instructors are here to make your first dive an unforgettable experience, in the middle of the underwater landscapes of great beauty of Île-Rousse.
Dive area
Several dive sites around Île-Rousse are accessible in just a few minutes by boat. The choice is made according to the weather conditions and currents but usually first dives are made on the Calanque d'Île-Rousse, a particularly sheltered area with a great diversity of fauna and flora.
Programme- Meeting & Preparation:
We meet at the dive centre at the agreed time. There, you will be taken care of by your instructor whom you will get to know. Once the equipment has been handed over and equipped, it is time for a briefing and safety instructions. Then, off to the dive site!
- Diving:
Come and have a private encounter with the aquatic life of the Mediterranean seabed... or almost! You will dive alone with your instructor who will be there to accompany you and make this first dive a success.
- Return:
Once the dive is over, the boat will take you directly back to the dive centre where you can enjoy a hot shower after you have returned your equipment. You will receive a diploma for your first dive before you leave.

Thank you to all the instructors on the boat, young and old alike.
Nathan and Emma had a wonderful time, saw lots of amazing things, and overcame their fears.
Thank you to the whole team, very professional, and for the safe environment.
And thank you to the two "youngsters" for putting them at ease; they had a great rapport.

We sent our boys along on their own, and they both really enjoyed the course with the German-speaking guide.
They had a lot of fun and felt completely safe.
