Overview

The baptism of diving is a unique experience to live:
- Spend an afternoon at sea: boat trip to an island near Saint-Raphaël
- After a complete briefing on the activity, dive in complete confidence with a state-certified instructor for 20 minutes (one instructor per person).

You will discover the life of the Mediterranean (fish, octopus, sea urchins, starfish etc), the sensations of breathing underwater (6m max)
- before and after your baptism you can swim and snorkel around the island (we stay about 90 minutes on site)
- tea or water available depending on the season.

A baptism certificate will then be issued to you for your first underwater experience on your return to port, around 5 p.m.

This activity is open to everyone from 8 years old (parental authorization required for minors).

You will need: swimsuit, water!, sunglasses, towel.

PS: possible to book for more than 3 people directly by phone or email.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (7)

    Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

    A: Participants in the Scuba diving baptism cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
