Plongée Exploration Encadrée

P.S.Diving's plongée exploration encadrée is sold tout inclus — all-inclusive — meaning equipment is bundled rather than rented as an add-on. The session runs from Saint-Laurent-du-Var on the Optimus to Cap d'Antibes, where the centre rotates through ten named sites: Rascoui, Lauve, Péquerolle, Grenille, Raventurier, Arenas, Petit Canyon, Sèche Saint-Pierre, Cap Gros, and Enfer de Dante.

Site selection varies based on conditions and the group's certification level. Raventurier is described by P.S.Diving as an exceptional deep dive; Arenas is specifically a technical site. Certified recreational divers on standard profiles have Cap Gros, Enfer de Dante, and the shallower plateau sites to choose from — the range means the day can be shaped around who's in the group rather than defaulting to one site for everyone.

The centre holds FFESSM and PADI affiliations, so guided exploration dives log against either system. For visiting divers, the all-inclusive format means arriving with a certification card and wetsuit is sufficient — everything else is on board. The online boutique also offers the exploration dive as a gift voucher, covering the certified diver who's otherwise difficult to buy for.
