Plongeur Autonome 12 m (PA12)

Seven sessions on the Côte Bleue, covering autonomous team diving in the 0–20m zone — without a monitor, with one or two partners of equivalent level — under a dive director. This qualification opens access to the shallower wreck sites and the gorgonian walls around Carry without requiring instructor accompaniment.

The course includes theory sessions covering the specificities of hyperbaric diving, with theory materials sent by email before the first session. Practical dives consolidate Niveau 1 skills and introduce the techniques needed for buddy-pair management. Assessment is continuous.

At €630, the price covers seven sessions with boat transport, theory support, full Scubapro equipment, insurance and the international diploma. With your own four-piece kit, the price is €550. Optional add-ons: Nitrox qualification at €110 supplement, or Drysuit (Vêtement Sec) at €90.

Minimum age is 15. Niveau 1 and some exploration dives already logged are required. Medical certificate of non-contraindication advised.
