Activity description
Learn to dive to a depth of 18 metres by taking your Open Water course in Saint-Cyprien, the international equivalent of the French Level 1 diving!
The first step towards becoming a certified diver, the Open Water course consists of 7 dives (first dive included) that will enable you to take part in exploration dives anywhere in the world, to a depth of 18 metres. First of all, you will take theory lessons online, and then you can organise your 7 diving sessions in Saint-Cyprien according to your availability and desired pace.
Supervised by a qualified instructor, you will take your Open Water Diver course in Saint-Cyprien in complete safety and discover the seabed between Collioure and Banyuls-sur-Mer, an area rich in underwater biodiversity. In total, 7 dives of 20 to 40 minutes each in small groups await you, the ideal way to become more comfortable underwater while taking full advantage of the underwater environment of the Côte Vermeille!
