It was nice with all of them, and I don't remember any time when I have learned so much about a matter and about myself in a short time. I will Go back there definitely!

Activité très complète. Très bonne prise en charge par l'équipe qui encadre en permanence les stagiaires sans pour autant les priver d'une certain autonomie. Temps de plongées maximisés - une bonne quinzaine par demi journée. Le top!
