Scuba Diving in Cannes
Diving in Cannes
If you have ever tried scuba diving you will either hate it or be hooked for life. The underwater world is magical and in the Cannes area there is an abundance of wildlife, especially around the protected Iles de Lerins and the wrecks (for experienced divers only). Most divers can look forward to seeing sponges, red coral, sea slugs and sea hares, octopus, cuttlefish, lobsters, common torpedo rays and stingrays plus a host of fish we normally see on our plates. In the summer there are also dolphins.
Introductory dives (bapteme) are available as well as training courses with six dives minimum, equipment, instruction and certification included
