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 6, 2025From 590€ / day (5hrs)Trial Scuba Diving from Sainte-Maxime"Guidance and experience were great!"Dennis, August 9, 2023From 75€ / day (2.5hrs)Guided Boat Dive in Sainte-Maxime for Beginners"Very good site for beginners.
