    Snorkeling Trip in Hyères
    "A super friendly team with lots of experience and a super pleasant atmosphere! The provided equipment is clean and well-maintained. An adventurous but safe trip to the dive site :) Unfortunately, there wasn't much to discover/see underwater. I think that's normal on the Côte d'Azur, though—it's not the Great Barrier Reef, after all. It was definitely good value for money, and I highly recommend it! The dive school offers many different experiences."Ilona, July 5, 2025

    FFESSM Level 1 Diving Course in Marseille for BeginnersWith our FFESSM Level 1 diving course in Marseille, take your first steps into the world of diving with us! Accessible from the age of 12, this course of 5 to 6 days will allow you to discover more about the world of scuba diving, and all this in the sublime scenery offered by the coast of Marseille. You will start with exercises at the bottom of the water: management of your breathing with the regulator, mask exercises, management of the stabilising jacket, and many other, which will allow you to reach 20 metres in complete safety. Our state-certified diving instructors will accompany you throughout the course to ensure that you are fully supported. The diving area will be chosen according to the weather conditions, but our favourite sites are in the Calanques National Park and especially around the Frioul archipelago. Thus, you will dive in turquoise blue water, and will be able to observe exceptional underwater fauna and flora, while perfecting your technique! The FFESSM Level 1 qualifies you to: - Dive to a maximum depth of 20 metres/65 feet - Dive with a scuba diving instructor by your sideProgramme - On-site theory lecture: The theoretical part of the training will take place on the dock or in the boat, before each dive. It will allow you to prepare for the next dive, but also to debrief on the dive that has just been done. - Kick-off: We meet 15 minutes before the booked time at our base in the old port of Marseille. If you come by car, there is paid parking nearby. Once you have arrived, you will meet our team who will give you your diving equipment. You will be able to leave your gear after you have changed. Each session takes place in the same way: we join the diving area by boat and you dive on site in groups of minimum 4 people. After about 3 hours at sea, we will return to the old port of Marseille. You can do one or two sessions per day, depending on your wishes and your time. The course is composed of 6 dives and can be done in 5 to 6 days.Course content - Theory Lessons - 6 Open Water DivesIncluded services - Certified FFESSM diving instructor - High-quality diving gear (all you need for your dive: wetsuit, mask, fins, octopus, weights) - Scuba tank (200 Bar for all dives) - FFESSM registration fee & certificate - Food and drinks on the boat - On request: Accompanying passenger on the boat (for a surcharge)Requirements - Minimum age: 12 years - Medical certificate - Physical health - Swimming ability - If you wear prescription glasses, you need to be comfortable wearing contact lenses

    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 6, 2025

Benjamin
"The team was extraordinarily nice! We came way too late because we got a little lost and didn't get the right exits in Marseille. I called them and didn't think we could make the trip, but they called back and assured us that they'd wait a few minutes more. Once there out of breath, the receptionists and instructors were super nice, calmed us down that we don't have to stress us anymore! The instructor always made sure to show my 10year old stepson everything during the trip. We felt ourselves in very good hands! If we come back to the region and plan on going diving or snorkeling again - we'll definitely book again at Le Bateau Jaune! Merci beacoup to the whole team!"
