The standard calendar includes technical weekends at Bormes les Mimosas (Aqua Bormes) and St Cyr sur Mer (Azur Plongée) in spring, a long weekend at Estartit in June with El rei del mar Diving Center, a deep-wreck weekend at Bormes les Mimosas in September (N3+ only), and an October outing. There is also one major international trip per year — Mozambique in 2026.
Freediving is a core discipline at the club, not an afterthought. The team includes MEF1 and IE2 coaches, one of whom is a former vice-champion de France at –95 m in free immersion. Sessions run in the pool, at the Chamagnieu quarry, in lakes, in the 20 m pit at Meyzieu, and in the sea. Brevets FFESSM are validated at each level of progression.

You will need a completed registration form, a CACI medical certificate dated within 3 months, and — for minors — a parental authorisation.
