L'exploration Classique

The excursion for the whole day is where we propose spending the entire day together.  Two dives, one the morning, one in the afternoon, with a break for lunch in the middle.

As well as being able to dive on the most beautiful sites of the Mediterranean (“Donator”, “Gabinière drop off” or the “Point de Vaisseau” and many others) we’ll offer tea and coffee when you finish your dive.  Don’t hesitate to bring your regional specialty!  The aim is to share a nice sociable moment.

For lunch we’ll visit a restaurant which will have prepared their best dishes for around €20: fish soup, bouillabaisse, grilled bream and many others!  The menus change according to where we are and the catch of the day.  However, there is always a starter, main, dessert, coffee and provençal rosé for everyone.  We challenge you to find better value for money.  You can also bring your own packed lunch if you wish.  After lunch there is a break of between 45 minutes and an hour before we dive again.  

These excursions will allow you to discover the islands of Port Cros, Porquerolles or du Levant.  To take a little nap, under the shade of a palm tree on one of these little ports of paradise, or for the more energetic to take a little walk to discover the fine plant life and one of the many forts guarded by impressive canons!

Meet up time is 9.00am and return to port for around 4.00pm, depending on the sites we visit.

You’ll need to book at the latest the day before to have a space on the boat and/or at the restaurant.

What’s different with Aqualonde?

• No lifting, your gear is systematically transported with our chariots between the centre and the 10 metres distance towards the boat.
• Hot showers in the changing rooms of our dive centre.
• Access to the most beautiful and prestigious dive sites of the Meditterranean.  The “Grec”, “Donator”, “Hellcat”, “Ville de Grasse”: the only paddle steamer wreck still intact or even a submarine decorated with “The order of freedom”.  Not forgetting the pinnacles or the famous “Gabinière drop off”, one the richest marine life sites in the heart of the “Port Cros” national park.  There is something for all tastes, enormous schools of barracuda, from turtles to sunfish via monkfish and groupers and red gorgonians!
• The closest dive centre to the Golden Islands from the mainland.
• Many hotels and restaurants nearby, for all budgets.  La Londe Les Maures is at the heart of the Côte d’Azur, between Hyères and St Tropez, in one of the most preserved areas due to the “Port Cros” National Park and the summer residence of the President of the Republic : “Fort Bregançon”.  We’re located on the port, with a big car park, a departure point for the ferries to the Golden Islands and all public transport connections.  There are many other activities available for all of the family while you’re making bubbles!  Find all of our recommendations here.
