Formation Technique Enfant (Plongeur Bronze/Argent/Or)

Five dives — one per day, maximum — leading to one of the FFESSM youth qualifications: plongeur de bronze, d'argent or d'or, depending on aptitude. Available for children up to age 12, conducted over the shallow sites of the Côte Bleue from the centre's RIB.

This is technical training, not repeated baptism dives. Each session builds on the last, working toward the minimum technical competencies for autonomous evolution in scuba equipment. The progression is assessed per child based on what they demonstrate in the water.

A medical certificate of non-contraindication to scuba diving is required. Depending on the doctor's assessment, an ENT examination with audiometry may be included. The medical certificate is valid for 6 months or 1 year for children under 12, and 1 year for those older. Parental authorisation is mandatory.

The €530 fee covers all five dives, full equipment, the FFESSM course card (diplôme) and FFESSM licence. Water temperature minimum 12°C, maximum 25 minutes per dive.
