Practical information
Specific formalities
Specifics
Before your departure, check with the embassy or consulate regarding the entry and stay requirements for your destination country. You can also find this information on the France Diplomatie website ( https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/dossiers-pays/ ).
In the case of flights with stopovers operated by different airlines, also check the entry requirements of the countries you are transiting through.
It is your responsibility to ensure you are in compliance, particularly regarding the validity of your identity documents (for example, some countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after your return) , visa requirements, necessary vaccinations, and health recommendations. And don't forget to consider any customs restrictions and other potential requirements of your destination or transit country.
ℹ️ Information may change up to the departure date, remember to regularly check official websites.
Equipment
Equipment provided on site
All diving equipment is provided for the training.
However, if additional dives are added at the end of the stay, the equipment rental will be charged in addition to the dives themselves (see Pricing Conditions).
Equipment to bring
If you have your own fins, mask, snorkel, or any other diving equipment, you are welcome to bring it with you. Otherwise, we provide everything!
Clothing to bring
Besides your swimsuit, it's a good idea to bring something to protect you from the sun during the day (a sarong, hat, or cap) and from the cool evening air. Lightweight trousers and a sweatshirt or light sweater are often welcome at the end of the day when the temperature drops. If it's windy, you'll also appreciate being able to cover up after a dive!
