About the Center
Perception Plongée, located in Hyères, France, is a dive center holding SSI and IANTD certifications. The center offers a broad spectrum of courses, ranging from Discover Scuba Diving to Instructor Development Courses and Technical Diving, including specialized courses such as Enriched Air Nitrox, Boat Diving, Deep Diver, and Wreck Diver. They also provide training according to Niveau 2 and Niveau 3 FFESSM levels, indicating a commitment to both local and international training standards.
The facilities at Perception Plongée include lockers, a bar area, equipment rental, and air fills, particularly for nitrox and trimix, which are essential for technical dives. The center distinguishes itself by offering both boat diving and night diving, allowing divers to experience the diversity of the marine ecosystem under different conditions. The center is dedicated to a personalized diving experience, with a maximum of 8 people aboard the boat, and focuses on sites such as Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and their renowned wrecks.
The center's philosophy, led by a founder with over 20 years of experience as a bomb disposal diver in the French National Navy and honored as Chevalier de l'Ordre du Mérite Maritime, centers on making technical diving accessible, relaxing, and sporty. With a focus on minimum 60-minute dives, whether during training or explorations, Perception Plongée emphasizes safety, technique, and the enjoyment of the underwater environment. The center also specializes in rEvo rebreather diving, offering initiations and advanced training, even recommending the transition from Level 2. In addition to recreational and technical diving, the center also provides professional diving services for underwater works.

Cross-over Diluant Air rEvo
Six dives, for certified CCR divers on other systems transitioning to the rEvo. The crossover assumes existing CCR competence and focuses on rEvo-specific handling: scrubber management, bailout procedures on the specific geometry of the rEvo unit, and the breathing loop characteristics that differ from other mCCR or eCCR platforms. Guillaume holds instructor qualifications on the rEvo specifically, so this isn't a generic crossover — it's delivered by someone who has trained on multiple CCR platforms in a military and recreational context. Dives take place in the same Hyères / Porquerolles / Port-Cros environment as the initial formation. rEvo units are available on site for rental (€300/week during training) for crossover candidates who don't yet own the machine. Certification issued as IANTD international on completion.
