Once a week in high season, our partner Takaplonger offers an introductory scuba-diving course in our swimming pools at the Annecy campsites: Camping La Ravoire and Camping Les Fontaines.
More than just a scuba-diving initiation, we take the time to discover scuba-diving during a real, fun learning session. You’ll discover unforgettable sensations. Breathing underwater, moving in 3 dimensions, weightlessness, changing landmarks…
Who can make this discovery?
You must be at least 8 years old and comfortable in the water.
The activity is offered in July and August.
How does it work?
The activity lasts 45 minutes at the end of the day.
Enrolment is limited to two groups.
Arnaud, the instructor, provides wetsuits for each trainee and explains how the equipment works. We practice breathing first out of the water, then underwater. The instructor takes the time to guide each trainee individually, so that they can evolve underwater in complete safety. So even those with little aquatic experience can feel confident in discovering the amazing sensations.
Once everyone has settled in and is able to get in and out calmly, you can venture into the deep end of the pool. Welcome to a world of blue silence!
You’ll discover our pools in a whole new light.
And after the introductory dive?
It’s a highly original experience that our customers always enjoy.
Participants will be able to share unique emotions with friends or family in an original and safe setting.
After that, why not try a dive in Lake Annecy?
We’re waiting for you…
Akaplonger also means discovering Lake Annecy. A school specialized in welcoming beginners…
