Generally, meeting times are 8:30 AM and 2:00 PM. For distant sites like Port-Cros, Le Grec, or Donator, the morning departure is earlier, around 7:30 AM. It's best to check the dive agenda for specific timings.
For Discover Scuba dives, discovery packs, and snorkeling, no medical certificate is needed. For all other activities (exploration and training), a medical certificate of 'non-contraindication to underwater activities' issued within the last year by a general practitioner is required.
