PADI Open Water Diver Course in Sainte-Maxime for Beginners"I did my first dive in Croatia in July - instantly hooked, I was keen to get my PADI Open Water qualification as soon as possible and closer to home.
Choosing H2O Sainte-Maxime, I wasn't sure what to expect but, honestly, this experience - the diving, the team and the environment - has perhaps left me with some of the happiest memories I've made in a long time!
Though initially apprehensive, I grew to become a confident diver over numerous dives with the help of Nadine, who never failed to smile, laugh or even giggle underwater.
The training and education imparted to me, both underwater and at the surface, was invaluable, and that it was delivered in such a fun, relaxed and calm environment - facilitated by Nadine, Arnaud and Laurent, has left me keen to progress to the next level.
Many thanks to the team at H2O Sainte-Maxime - I hope to see you in late May to complete my PADI Advanced Open Water qualification. 😀"Theodore · October 2025
Snorkeling Excursion from Sainte-Maxime"It was amazing to see the life under the water. Our guide, Olia, was very patient. We had one 10 year old who was ambitious and she ensured he had a good time but was safe. It was our first time but it was beyond our expectations and felt very safe."Carmel · July 2026
Trial Dive in the Esterel Natural Park or the Lérins Islands"Incredible experience! The instructors immediately made us feel very comfortable during the dive. It was a great gift idea for my husband's 30th birthday, and we loved it! We're already eager to do it again soon. I highly recommend it! 🤿🎉"Ana Claudia · August 2026
