In France, there is no legally mandated minimum age for making your first bubbles.However, we recommend a minimum age of 8 years to ensure that your child has sufficient physical and emotional maturity to understand all the subtleties of the activity.The goal is to ensure everyone's safety as much as possible.

Question 5

Then go underwater with my partner/friend?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no! In France, the regulatory framework requires instructors to supervise beginners one by one.Therefore, our instructors will not be able to look after 2 people at the same time.However, nothing prevents you from being underwater at the same time, supervised by 2 different instructors! You might even have the chance to meet.

Question 6

Do I need to know how to swim in order to dive?

Accepted Answer

Contrary to popular belief, you absolutely do not need to know how to swim to be able to do your first scuba dive!Indeed, your wetsuit and our inflatable equipment allow you to float once in the water.Furthermore, the instructor takes care of everything during your introductory dive, and often even fins for you!
