Activity description

Are you fascinated by the world of diving? Start or continue your scuba diving training on board a catamaran at Les Anses-d'Arlet in Martinique!

Diving training is essential if you want to enjoy exploration dives that are longer and deeper than a simple first dive. And to make your dive training in Martinique unforgettable, the instructors at ATAO Plongée invite you on board their catamaran from the bay of Grande Anse d'Arlet to train at the most beautiful dive sites in the south-west of the island!

Comprising theoretical and practical courses, 3 different diving courses are offered on board the catamaran in Les Anses-d'Arlet (each requires the presentation of a medical certificate):

- Level 1 classic (no need for a first dive): 5 dives over 3 days to dive to a depth of 20 metres with a dive master;

- Level 1 accelerated (need to have had one or more first dives in the 6 months preceding the course): 4 dives over 2 days to dive to a depth of 20 metres with a dive master;

- PE 40 (you need to have passed an Open Water or FFESSM Level 1): 4 dives over 2 days to dive in the 20 to 40 metres zone with a dive master.

Depending on your needs and experience, it's up to you to choose which diving course in Les Anses-d'Arlet you want to take!
