We passed our level 1 as a family.
The supervision is very serious, the equipment is top and the atmosphere at the rendezvous.
We went to different spots including Capo rosso where we could see beautiful red corals.
Many regulars who put a good atmosphere.
Thanks to Jean Marc and his team.

A very beautiful commercial diving structure which is very professional while perfectly reconciling pleasure and safety. A friendly atmosphere, attention paid to the customer (water fountain, toilets, shower, tea, etc.) in a sumptuous setting. A great stay spent with Jean Marc and his team.

I did my diving christening with Explorasub and it was great. A golden moment of time. I was able to go down to 7 meters deep and discover so many kinds of fish it was perfect. A team at the top with mentors who know how to share their passion!

Very disappointed by the diving experience with this club which only aims to take advantage of the summer period and tourists to fill its boats. The result, despite an ideal location on the port and quality equipment, dives of 40min max to allow several rotations in the afternoon. No conviviality when returning from the dive because it is necessary to quickly clear the place to allow the following customers to arrive. Also found the excessive rates (baptism 100€, supervised diving 65€ plus 6€ for each rental equipment -> total 83€ for a supervised dive) but has no comparison with the other clubs on the island. Anyway, I'm not going back.

I dived among regulars of the center: To tell you that I have hardly been considered! I booked the Capo Rosso dive because I was told there would be red coral and gorgonians. To be sure to take full eyes I chose diving and mentored.
I am allowed to dive to 30 meters and I have more than 200 dives to my credit, but I have been stuck with a beginner who is doing his apprenticeship. The result: I saw very few fish, nudibranchs, but no gorgonians or red coral.
Avoid at all costs this diving center for which passing tourists represent a wallet on legs!

Brilliant welcome. Coffee and cold water. Changing room, showers and toilets. Boat in front of the club. Tea after the dive. No stress here, we enjoy and take our time. I highly recommend. The boss is Jean Marc 😉

I was part of a group of 4 divers who went on a single dive last week. We were all very disappointed with the poor service provided to us by Explorasub. In summary:
1) All the divers waited a long time in the sun for the boat to leave the harbour as the manager and instructors were running late, after they rushed us on to the boat.
2) We counted 18 divers on our boat which seemed to be beyond reasonable capacity.
3) As there was no room on the boat to get ready, all divers were asked to put on their equipment, including their fins, in the water.
4) No diving briefing was provided to us. We are used to receiving a diving briefing during which the diving site is 'descibred' to us. Most diving clubs also position the diving site on a map.
5) Our instructor was impatient and talked to us disrespectfully as if we were kids. We were asked to rush underwater although our equipment was not properly fitted yet.
6) We were taken to a fairly uninteresting diving site. In 45 min, we enjoyed seeing a star fish, a moray eel and a sea urchin.
7) The visibility was very good - probably 20 to 25 metres.
8) Our instructor took us to a depth of 27.5 metres (not really consistent with our PADI level 1).
9) At the end of the dive, our diving parameters were not provided to us and our diving books were stamped without any further verification.
10) We felt that no one in the club made any proper effort to talk to us or other foreign divers in English.
If you are desperate for a dive, this is your spot. If not, it might be a good idea to look for a different venue.

We had 2 dives in the same day with Jean Marc, Al and the team !
The 2 spots were very nice and the time on the boat to go there and come back really nice.
The team was really taking the time to make sure we feel safe and we enjoy our time.
In the afternoon we have the instructor just for us and we really did appreciate it.
I recommend it with no hesitation.
Thank you again to the team !

This is a professionally run diving club. Equipment is of top quality (you can bring your own). There are several beautiful spots around, including the not to be missed Capo Rosso 20 min away to the North.
They are very keen on safety.
Be sure to bring your PADI or any other document showing your level.
Even if you are level 1 (20m), if they think you can do it, you may do a level 2 dive (up to 40m) like Capo Rosso.
My wife had her first dive with them, and she was very happy about it.
Strongly recommended diving club.
We made 3 dives in a row with them. Better doing it the morning.

Good afternoon,
(I speak very little french) on Sunday 24th July I am on a Dream 82 that may be mooring in Cargese for the afternoon and overnight. I am a nervous PADI open water qualified diver and have just done my refresher course today in the hope I may get the opportunity to dive when I am on this sailing holiday.
I am wondering how easy it would be to organise at very short notice a dive for myself with your organisation in this situation?
Kind regards
Elizabeth
