Details
Your first dive was a success and you want to go even further in your practice? Then becoming a certified diver is the next step. We offer the FFESSM level 1 certification in Fréjus, in the enchanting setting of the French Riviera. You will complete your training on diving sites close to the Estérel massif, where the ochre rock meets the azure of the water.
No prerequisites are necessary for this certification course: it can be done as a first diving experience, after a first dive or as a continuation of a Discover Scuba Diving module. Alternating theoretical lessons and practical dives, you will progress towards autonomy underwater and discover the wonders that lie hidden under the Mediterranean Sea, while diving deeper and deeper.
The FFESSM Level 1 qualifies you to:
The FFESSM certification is a French certification. Level 1 teaches you diving autonomy, through familiarization with the equipment, learning the safety rules and knowledge of your environment. It also allows you to dive to a depth of 20 m.
Programme- Duration:
You will have to do 5 dives to get your certification. Depending on how much time you have at hand, you can schedule one or two dives per day, which will be interspersed with theory. It is also possible to do a crash course over a weekend, for example.
- Kick-off:24 to 48 hrs before the first dive, we ask you to contact us so that we can confirm all the details (like the schedule), depending on the weather conditions.
On the day, we meet at the agreed time at our base in Port Fréjus. Free and paid parking can be found nearby. All equipment is waiting for you directly on our boat, where you can also change and store your personal belongings. Then we set off for the dive site.
