What people ask before booking
No certification needed for baptisms — they're open to everyone from age 8, no prior swimming ability required. Certified divers (PADI, CMAS, SSI, FFESSM or equivalent) can join guided exploration dives or autonomous buddy dives depending on their level.
Baptisms and the Plongeur de Bronze children's stage start from age 8. The PADI Open Water and Junior Open Water are available from age 10. FFESSM Niveau 1 requires a minimum age of 12. Most advanced autonomous certifications require age 18.
Between 40 and 60 minutes depending on the site, depth and air consumption. Baptisms run shorter — around 20 minutes underwater. Children's sessions are approximately 30 minutes underwater.
Just a swimsuit and a towel. All diving and snorkeling equipment — wetsuit, fins, mask, regulator, BCD, tank — is available at the centre. Rental is included in some packages and priced separately for exploration dives.
Every Saturday in September 2026, the centre organises a full-day outing: two dives on more remote, less-frequented sites, a meal included between the dives, and a visit by boat to the Scandola natural reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site on the west coast of Corsica.
Both French (FFESSM) and international (PADI, SSI) certifications are available. The French track goes from PE12 up to Niveau 4 (guide de palanquée).
