What a story!
Souvenir photo, my beginnings in diving. The little diver is me in my beginnings I was about 8 years old when I started. I think this photo was taken in Corsica, my father next to me with the Bi and the fenzy. I was lucky to have known the Mistral, the fenzy and to dive with it of course. To see the evolution of diving equipment. And I'm not talking about table dives, as well as the appearance of the first dive computers.
It's another story
What a change since I was 8, I dreamed of having a diving center when I was 20 and the vagaries of life meant that I had to change my professional orientation, to end up 30 years later with another radical change of life. A move to the Canary Islands with my family and finally having my diving centre . A small family structure where we dive with friends and share this passion that drives us all: DIVING.

A long experience
I have been a diver for over 40 years, and each dive seems to mark a new chapter in my life, a new challenge or a new emotion. Diving is for me much more than a simple activity, it is a way of life, a passion which led me, over time, to become a diving instructor.
Today, as a diver and instructor, what still nourishes me the most are the human encounters and constant discoveries that the ocean has in store for me. These experiences mark not only my personal journey, but also the evolution of the people with whom I shared my passion.
Diving, in its great simplicity, reminds me that the sea is a world of adventure, of challenges, but also a space where we find inner peace, far from the tumult of daily life.
It is this peace, this communion with nature, that I try to transmit to each of my students.
A well-equipped diving center
