BAPTEME

The baptism at Plongée Passion Carry runs about 25 minutes at 5–6 metres depth, from the boat, with one dedicated monitor for each participant — no shared supervision. That ratio matters on a first dive: the monitor can focus entirely on your comfort rather than managing a group.

The boat drops you on one of the coastal sites around Carry-le-Rouet, where the seabed holds posidonia meadows, nudibranchs and the usual Mediterranean mix of wrasse, blennies and sea bream. Not a pool trial — a real dive over natural terrain from the first breath.

Everything is included: transport on the RIB to the site, full equipment (cylinder, regulator, BCD, wetsuit, fins, mask, weights), surface safety cover with a BEES-qualified monitor, insurance, and a diploma certificate at the end. No paperwork beyond showing up and wanting to do it.

The course is open to any age. For children under 8, the centre asks you to contact them directly. No medical certificate is required for this format. The centre recommends spring or later for better water temperatures, though baptism dives run year-round.
