Try Dive and snorkeling in Port-Vendres

Discovery of scuba diving

Live a unique adventure in the crystal waters of the Vermeille coast!

Led by our certified instructors, our try divedives take you from the age of 8 to discover the seabed of the Côte Vermeille, in the marine natural park of the Gulf of Lion.

Here, the try dive is much more than an immersion: it's a true initiation.

Your instructor teaches you the fundamentals – breathing, propulsion, balance, positioning in the water – so that you leave with real sensations and the basics of diving.

One instructor for only one baptized person at a time, from beginning to end.
Complete equipment provided
Maximum depth: 6m (6m from age 12, 3m from age 10 to 12 and 2m from age 8 to 10)

Your instructor adapts their pace to each individual; let yourself be guided towards the richness of the fauna and the beauty of the rocky seabed.

Before entering the water, a technical briefing will introduce you to the equipment, and an environmental briefing will raise awareness of proper behavior in a natural environment. A signaling and support buoy is available for the group, and a submersible species identification card will allow you to name each encounter—wrasse, white seabream, sea urchins, starfish… Spend

a submersible identification tag for the species and a signaling
and support buoy for the entire duration of the outing.
For 45 minutes, your guide will take you to the most vibrant snorkeling spots on the Côte Vermeille and explain what's happening right before your eyes. Then comes some free time—15 to 30 minutes—to explore independently, just a short distance from the boat.
In July and August, our guided snorkeling trips depart in the late afternoon—when the sea is calm, the light is golden, and the fish are most active. The best time to be in the water.

An ideal way to put a name to the Mediterranean.
