Activities

Whether you want to snorkel, dive or take part in a diving course - we have something for every level of experience. From your first taster dive to training to become a master diver, we have the right programme for you.
Diving
We go on daily single-tank trips to the Cerbical Islands nature reserve and visit one of our 25 diving spots. Whether you want to dive as a more inexperienced to 12 metres or as an advanced diver to depths of up to 40 metres - there is plenty to discover for everyone. With us, you have the opportunity to take part in guided dives or explore the underwater world independently and at your own pace as an advanced diver (from AOWD/CMAS**).
Snorkeling
There is also plenty of life in the shallow waters of the Îles Cerbicales, which is why our diving areas are also ideal for snorkelling. After just a 10-minute boat trip, you can dive straight into the underwater world equipped with a mask, snorkel and fins.
