Groix: Snorkeling / Scuba Diving｜France

The activity is conducted using waterproof species identification booklets and waterproof tablets to enable participants (if they wish) to record the species they observe during the dive, thereby contributing to species monitoring, trip after trip, year after year. Your instructor will guide you during an approximately 2-hour session at sea, departing from a boat or from the beach, depending on the weather.

Our outings end with a debriefing over herbal tea made with honey from Grandma’s garden and Breton cookies.

The SDConservation Apnée freediving school is involved in several environmental projects. At the start of the outing, the group will be invited to read the Eco-Responsible Diver Charter. This time will be dedicated to a discussion on the importance of preserving our coastal areas. We will discuss SDConservation Apnée’s activities, citizen science projects, and the school’s initiatives in collaboration with local stakeholders.
