Formations enfants
Cassis Calanques Plongée offers specialized 'Formations enfants' (Kids Training) programs for children aged 8 to 12, introducing them to the underwater world. These courses are designed to ignite a passion for marine life through fun and safe activities. Participants learn essential scuba skills, including equipment use, underwater breathing, buoyancy control, and communication with instructors. They also begin identifying local fish species, making their first dive experience both educational and engaging. The program progresses through three distinct certifications: 'L'Aquaticus' (Bronze Diver), 'Le Tétardo' (Silver Diver), and 'L'Explorator' (Gold Diver). Each level builds upon the last, with 'Aquaticus' requiring 3 dives, 'Tétardo' requiring 4 dives, and 'Explorator' culminating in 5 dives. All participants receive a child's logbook and a qualification card, with all necessary equipment provided. These courses serve as a natural progression following a baptism dive, offering a structured pathway for young ocean enthusiasts. The waters around Cassis offer a vibrant marine environment, with average sea temperatures reaching 25.9°C in July and 26.6°C in August, providing comfortable conditions for young divers.
