Programme

Experience a comprehensive and enjoyable Level 1 diving training aboard our catamaran. Each day begins at 8:30 a.m. from the Grande Anse pontoon, where you will board a zodiac for a short ride to our anchored catamaran, greeted by a warm cup of coffee. Our daily dives will take you to prime locations between Pointe Lézarde and Pointe Burgos or at Anse Dufour.

During the first two days, you will embark on two dives each morning in pristine natural settings. On the third day, prepare for a single, deeper, and longer dive. After the morning dives, we will relocate to a second site such as the village of Anses d'Arlet or Anse Noire. Enjoy an afternoon aperitif and a delicious barbecue lunch before taking advantage of our paddles for some fun on the water. Grab a mask and snorkel to swim with turtles (remember not to touch them).

In the afternoon, we will cover the Level 1 theory with revisions, ensuring you are well-prepared for certification. We will return to land by 4:00 p.m., or you can opt for a drop-off at the AVENTURE houseboat if preferred. Join us for an enriching diving experience and discover the underwater wonders of Martinique in style!
