Activity description

Discover scuba diving near Perpignan with your first dive at Le Barcarès!

Just 20 kilometres from Perpignan, you can take up scuba diving at Le Barcarès, any way you like: from the beach or from a boat, and even at night! Diving alongside a qualified instructor who will accompany you underwater to a maximum depth of 6 metres, you will discover the underwater world for 15 to 20 minutes.

Advanced beginners who don't feel comfortable diving directly into the water will prefer to do their first dive from the beach at Le Barcarès, while the more adventurous can choose to do their first dive from the centre's boat, at a dive site in Le Barcarès where you will be able to see more underwater life. The night diving experience is recommended for those curious enough to see what happens underwater once the sun goes down, by the light of a torch: you can be sure that the sensations of night diving are very different from those of day diving!

Whether you want to make your first dive alone with the instructor (Solo) or with a loved one (Duo), this diving experience in Le Barcarès will leave you with fond memories of your first underwater escapade near Perpignan!
