Scuba diving and snorkeling Languedoc Roussillon

Alain, a mountain and sea lover, has no equal on the coast to share his discoveries and wonders with experienced divers or beginners. In July and August, the club offers guided snorkeling in the Paulilles cove in the heart of the marine park. What we really loved at Scuba Passion is the unique, warm and friendly atmosphere (no joking about safety) and the personality of the captain. Alain, between two dives, has so many stories to tell about the area and the wrecks... We still dream about it!

This certified diving school is based in Port-Leucate, a few steps from the sea. On the spot, several formulas will be proposed to you according to your expectations and your level: initiation, discovery, training, exploration... Everything is done under the aegis of qualified instructors, passionate and qualified "guides of the sea". Specialists in diving for children, the instructors organize baptisms from the age of 6. The environment of the club promises magnificent dives: rocky plateau, coralligenous bottoms, maze of "la Sorcière"...

Really nice and pleasant dives in this club where good mood reigns. The instructors know their job perfectly and moreover they like it. As far as services are concerned, it's classic: first dives, training from level 1 to level 4, and you can even learn Tek. On the practical side, the parking lot is very close, so you can forget about the hassle of carrying your equipment to the club. The equipment, that of the club, is in perfect condition. Safety first.

The underwater trail can be visited by swimming on the surface, equipped with a mask, snorkel and fins. A series of submerged panels serve as a guide and take you into the world of silence. You explore the small rocky depths of the marine reserve in 5 stages over a distance of 250 metres in complete safety, with lifeguards watching over the area during opening hours. The visit is commented directly to your ears with the help of the FM snorkel. A beautiful and tasty initiation to the discovery of the fascinating ecosystem of the Côte Vermeille.

This international diving center, in existence since 1954 and approved by the French Ministry of Youth and Sports and the FFESSM (Fédération française d'études et de sports sous-marins), offers you first-rate equipment and staff to discover the Côte Vermeille seabed. First dives take place by appointment on the rocky seabed in Collioure Bay, and daily snorkeling excursions are organized (equipment provided).

Diving under the ice in winter is an unforgettable experience, almost poetic for some enthusiasts: the bubbles stick to the icy ceiling, the sun makes its way through the hole dug in the lake, the light rays are almost palpable, no blue around you but green. If you are tempted by the experience, go for 20 minutes of extreme sensations, warm in a waterproof suit, secured by a life line. The diving is done with a Réderis Plongée instructor. Approved by the Federation of diving and youth and sports.

Gérard and Pascale Puig and their team will help you discover and enjoy the Grande Bleue, whether you are a beginner or an expert. The exceptional sites are always chosen according to the weather of the day. You will be able to explore the Banyuls Cerbère Marine Nature Reserve in complete safety and experienced divers (level 2 minimum) will dive on wrecks just a stone's throw from Spanish waters. In winter, the centre offers ice diving courses in the Catalan Pyrenees at the resort of Les Angles (January and February).

Pierre and Stéphanie offer adults and children the opportunity to discover the underwater treasures of Les Aresquiers. This plateau is full of common Mediterranean species (octopus, sars, sea breams...), as well as rarer specimens for the region such as moray eels, groupers, étrilles, and crustaceans. Several formulas are available: first dive, exploration trip, diver training, first aid adapted to diving. On site, you will also find a rental service for diving equipment.

Plongée Bleue is a diving center oriented towards the protection of the marine environment through concrete daily actions and steps aimed at minimizing its impact on the environment to be in accordance with its values and ethics. The whole team is working hard to make you feel like a fish in the water. The little extra that touched us in their home is the welcome of an "extra ordinary" public: autistic youngsters, young people in reintegration activities, deaf and hard of hearing people, motor and cognitive handicaps... A beautiful philosophy!

Cap Cerbère is ideally located in the heart of the marine reserve, the marine park and a few miles from the Cape Creus reserve in southern Catalonia. Exploration dives, training dives, snorkeling, but also photo courses (underwater), bio courses (underwater life), ice diving (in winter). A lot of activities for a dynamic center with a legendary welcome. In addition, you will love Cerbère, this small village at the end of France, less frequented than its brothers and sisters on the Côte Vermeille, and with such an authentic atmosphere.

This diving center is run by Pascal Cottinet, a state-qualified diving enthusiast and independent diving instructor. He'll share his passion with you, guiding you through the waters of the Thau Basin for walks, explorations or even introductions.

Osez plonger is also a training organization adapted to different levels and disciplines.
