What to Expect
Come and discover the fascinating underwater world with our Discover Scuba Diving experience in Saint-François. This activity is perfect for anyone curious to experience the sensation of weightlessness underwater for the first time. Accompanied by a certified diving instructor, you will dive to a maximum depth of 6 metres for approximately 20 minutes, surrounded by Guadeloupe’s rich and vibrant marine life. The only requirement? You must be at least 8 years old.
Dive Area
Guadeloupe, with its crystal-clear waters, is a renowned diving destination. Saint-François, located at the south-eastern tip of Grande-Terre, is surrounded by a coral reef home to numerous species of tropical fish, from the most sober to the most colourful, including angelfish, black surgeon fish and trumpet fish. If you're lucky, you will also come across stingrays, lemon sharks and sea turtles, which live in these warm waters. This shallow lagoon is ideal for beginners.
Programme
We meet you at our dive centre at the booked time. After welcoming you and handing over your equipment, we will go to the boat. On board, we will show you how to gear up and how your equipment works, and then we will head out to the dive site near the coral reef.
You will then dive with your instructor for approximately 20 minutes. Your instructor will ensure that you make the most of your experience. Once all participants have completed their dives, the boat will return to the diving centre.

We did a baptism with my 13-year-old godson and my brother. She was really not reassured, but the instructor was able to put her at ease. She asked me when we could do it again. We had a very good afternoon. Thank you
