Scubaschool.fr now visit both La Grange du Moulin and Les Vallaies each week . Children from 5 years old to adults up to 99 years + are offered try a dives or PADI approved courses. The basic course lasts one hour and costs 30€. This is a great way to see whether you like the idea before perhaps moving on to more advanced courses here or at home.
All sessions are held in the heated swimming pools onsite at our properties. All equipment is provided and once the basic safety lessons are learnt you'll be off around the pool collecting 'treasure' and they may literally have you diving through hoops !
It is quite amazing how quickly children get to grips with 'breathing' underwater and we have had several children opt to then take the full 'junior open water course' available which even involves an exam ( they must have really loved it to study on their hols !) For those interested in going further Geoff can offer referral courses . This means that you can take all the 'closed' (meaning swimming pool) work and tests for a course and any coursework required whilst on holiday and Geoff will then give you a contact for a dive centre close to you at home in the UK to complete the necessary 'open' (non pool) tests. The benefits of doing this are that firstly it is a lot cheaper, from only 300€ which is way cheaper than doing the pool work in the UK plus you get to do most of the work in a lovely warm pool in lovely sunny weather !
