France offers a wide range of diving suitable for all grades of divers - the south has Mediterranean diving with warmer water, reefs and some excellent wreck diving. The northern coasts offer the unique opportunity of diving the huge number of WW2 shipwrecks lying off the beaches of Normandy.
We've treated each of these areas separately and added the island of Corsica.

Only visited Porto-Vecchio one day on a Windsurf Cruise.
Karin the owner picked me up at the harbor and brought me on a 10-15 min ride to their shop. There, I was introduced to her staff and the DiveMaster guiding me on the dives. I was given a briefing of...

Though it operates dives to the crystal clear waters of the Scandola Nature Reserve (about 30 minutes in a Zodiac), the management is mostly interested in getting your money rather than enabling enjoyable diving experiences for all. I booked a dive and was told we would have 45 minutes and...
A great experience!

I passed my advance open water at Cote Plongee this time. It was again a pleasant experience, just like last time I passed my open water with them. My coach was quite cool and at the same time quite serious with his work. Because I hadn't dived a lot since...

I was lucky enough to be one of Diamond Diving's first clients. I'd just moved to France and wanted to carry on the diving I'd begun in the UK.
Right from the start I saw that diving with Alex Diamond was going to be a great experience.
The dive sites...

Well-equipped dive center, knowledgable trustworthy staff, fair rates for gear and courses, speedy reliable dive boat, English speaking instructors (Leo was awsome)...I highly recommend Bormes Plongee. I know there are sites with more abundant life overall, but there were plenty of barracuda and HUGE grouper (merou) that made my wife...
