Découverte – Basic Diver SSI

The Basic Diver programme at Plongéquilibre is a step beyond the single try-dive. The session runs about 3.5 hours and includes two 30-minute dives at the Villeneuve-la-Garenne pit, plus a theory module. It's designed for people who want more than a one-off experience but aren't ready to commit to the full Open Water course yet.

The recognition card you receive counts as partial credit toward both the Scuba Diver SSI and Open Water Diver SSI programmes. In practice that means the money and time spent here isn't wasted if you decide to continue — it applies directly to the next level.

Minimum age is 10. The format is supervised throughout by a Plongéquilibre instructor in a controlled pool environment, making it a solid first step for anyone uncertain about committing to a multi-session certification.
