PADI Recreational Facility in Golfe Juan between Antibes/Juan Les Pins and Cannes

Overview

Diamond Diving now have their own dive facility. We are based in the Port de Golfe Juan with our 6m15cm Valiant DR RIB. We are a small centre where the owners are also the instructors in the water. We place a big emphasis on the human touch. Alex and Noemie both hold the French Brevet d’Etat (a legal obligation as a professional diving instructor working in France). For the 2010 season Alex will be a PADI IDC Staff Instructor (Assistant Instructor Trainer) and Noemie a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer.

Golfe Juan gives us access to the dive zones of the Cap d’Antibes, the bay of Golfe Juan (including the lighthouse “La Fourmigue” that marks at least five excellent dive sites), and Les Iles de Lerins.

The diving is a mix of deep pinnacles, vertical drop offs, canyons, caverns and shallow plateaux. We have a selection of over forty dive sites suitable for anyone from slightly nervous try divers to the most accomplished of experienced divers. We offer great variety, small numbers, short boat journeys, healthy and diverse marine life, and a personal, good quality service.

Location

The boat is situated in Port de Golfe Juan, on the coastal road between Antibes/Juan Les Pins and Cannes. There is a public car park with over 250 spaces located at the entrance. We are located on Quai Sud, the main external quay.

Golfe Juan is a charming and down to earth little town, hugging the coast. There is a lot of life and a great selection of bars and restaurants in which to relax post dive. A fantastic for sitting, chilling and watching the world go by. There is also a good beach nearby for the odd post lunch siesta.

Train access via Golfe Juan/Vallauris train station is very easy. The station is on the main line between Nice and Cannes. Once out of the station walk towards the marina, turn right and keep the boats on your left and walk round to Quai Sud. You will see us and our mobile kit store, a black Land Rover Defender 110.
