Trial Dive in Les Anses-d'Arlet for Beginners

About the Activity

What to Expect

If you have ever dreamt of trying diving and love observing marine animals, this is the perfect experience for you. Join us the Grande Anse pontoon, where a zodiac will take you to our catamaran. After a welcome coffee, we will set sail for the coral reefs between Pointe Lézarde and Pointe Burgos. You will be equipped for diving or snorkeling, with no medical certificate required, except for special conditions or pregnancy. Our instructor will guide your descent and provide assistance as needed.

This full-day adventure offers a first dive and much more. You can relax on board, identify marine wildlife like lionfish and parrotfish, enjoy the comforts of the catamaran, paddleboard, swim with turtles, or simply realx at the front area of the boat. For those wanting more, we offer a popular "double dive" option, allowing two diving sessions during the trip.

Our small group size (up to 12 people) creates a family-like atmosphere, ensuring a personalized experience. With expert guides leading the way, you will explore the best spots in the area and witness the rich biodiversity of Martinique, making this an ideal experience for beginners.

Dive Area

We will do everything to make sure you have the best first time diving trial. Departing from the Grande Anse d'Arlet, we will navigate to the best diving and snorkeling spot. The maximum depth of the baptism is 6 meters deep (less for children depending on their ages). There is no obligation to reach this depth, trust your instructor to manage this part. You can see tropical fish, sea turtles, stingrays, starfish, sea urchins, moray eels, and schools of fish. If you have never scuba dived, the recommended immersion time is 20 to 25 minutes. The exact diving spot is chosen depending on the sea and weather conditions and experience of the participants.

Programme

Experience a complete and enjoyable Level 1 diving training aboard our luxurious catamaran. Each day begins at 8:30 am at the Grande Anse pontoon, where a zodiac will transfer you to our anchored catamaran, greeted with a cup of coffee. We will take you to the best dive sites between Pointe Lézarde, Pointe Burgos, or Anse Dufour.

For the first two days, you will do two morning dives in pristine natural environments. On the third day, enjoy a deeper and longer dive. After the morning dives, we will head to another site, like the village of Anses d'Arlet or Anse Noire, where you can relax with an aperitif, savor a barbecue lunch, paddle on the water, and snorkel with turtles.

In the afternoon, we will cover Level 1 theory to prepare for certification. We will return to shore around 4:00 pm, or you may opt to be dropped off at the AVENTURE houseboat. Join us for a rewarding diving experience and explore the underwater wonders of Martinique!
