After your first taste of scuba diving, take the experience further with a second dive dedicated to learning and mastering your first technical skills.

This experience is a first training session. It does not automatically grant a PADI certification or the French PE-12 rating.

DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING AT YOUR OWN PACE

Never been diving? IslanDiving offers two ways to take your first steps into the underwater world.

Whether you simply want to try it for the first time or prefer more in-depth guidance, each option is designed to help you discover scuba diving gradually, with complete confidence.

In St. Barts, you’ll experience the unique sensations of being underwater in an exceptional marine environment, guided by a professional who adapts to your comfort level and your progress.

DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING: YOUR FIRST DIVE

The Discover Scuba Diving experience is designed for people who want to try scuba diving with no prior certification.

After an introduction to the equipment and the essential safety guidelines, you’ll gradually discover what it feels like to breathe underwater, with one-on-one guidance from your instructor.

This first encounter with the underwater world takes place between 0 and 20 feet (6 meters), in line with French regulations for introductory dives.

The goal is simply to get your bearings, get comfortable breathing underwater, and enjoy the experience at your own pace.

PREMIUM INTRO DIVE: TAKE IT FURTHER

Want to go a little further after your first dive?

The Premium Intro Dive offers a second dive focused on discovering and learning your first scuba skills.

Get more familiar with your equipment.
Learn to control your breathing and buoyancy.
Discover your first techniques for moving and maneuvering underwater.
Practice training exercises tailored to your progress.
Build your comfort and confidence underwater.

This second step brings a more educational approach to scuba diving and serves as a first introduction to a real training path.

GOING FURTHER: PADI INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATIONS

Want to keep learning and earn your first international certification?

After this first experience, you can choose to continue your training through the PADI program, depending on your goals, your progress, and the prerequisites to be met.

PADI Scuba Diver

This entry-level PADI certification allows you to dive down to 40 feet (12 meters) under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional, within the limits set by PADI standards.

PADI Open Water Diver

You can also go straight to the PADI Open Water Diver certification, which allows you to dive down to 60 feet (18 meters), in accordance with PADI standards, your experience, and diving conditions.

Both certifications require completing and passing the corresponding training programs. The Premium Intro Dive alone does not constitute a PADI certification.

GOING FURTHER: THE FRENCH PE-12 RATING

For divers who also want to dive under French regulations, an additional training path can be offered toward the PE-12 rating (Supervised Diver to 12 meters / 40 feet).

This path allows you to acquire and be assessed on the skills required for supervised diving down to 40 feet (12 meters), in accordance with the requirements of the French Sports Code.

Earning the PE-12 requires specific instruction and assessment, as well as validation of all the required skills.

The French PE-12 rating and PADI certifications follow separate standards. A PADI certification therefore does not automatically grant the PE-12 rating, and vice versa.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Both options are open to beginners, subject to fitness-to-dive requirements.

Depth, duration, and supervision are adapted to the participant’s age, comfort level, progress, and diving conditions.

The Premium Intro Dive is a separate experience from the Discover Scuba Diving experience. It does not include the full training required to obtain a French rating or a PADI certification.

Further PADI courses require enrollment in the corresponding program. PADI eLearning and any required learning materials are not included in the listed prices. They are purchased and paid for directly on PADI’s official website.

Participation is subject to fitness-to-dive requirements. A medical questionnaire must be completed before diving. Depending on your answers, a physician’s approval may be required beforehand.

All experiences are taught by a PADI Instructor who also holds the French professional qualifications required to teach and lead scuba diving for compensation, in accordance with the French Sports Code and within the scope of their credentials (including BPJEPS or DEJEPS in Scuba Diving).

Mon excursion de plongée avec Birdy et Coraline a sans aucun doute été le point culminant de mon séjour sur l'île ! Nous avons effectué deux plongées exceptionnelles à Pain de Sucre, un site absolument magnifique regorgeant de vie marine et de superbes récifs coralliens que Birdy protège et entretient depuis des décennies. Au cours de nos plongées, nous avons eu la chance d'observer une tortue de mer, un requin endormi, des langoustes, des milliers de poissons multicolores et tant d'autres créatures marines fascinantes. Ce fut une expérience inoubliable ! Ma dernière plongée remontait à six ans, mais Birdy m'a immédiatement mise à l'aise, en confiance et en parfaite sécurité dans l'eau. Son professionnalisme, sa patience et sa passion pour l'océan ont rendu l'expérience facile et incroyablement agréable. Je recommande vivement Island Diving. Si vous visitez l'île, c'est une expérience à ne pas manquer ! J'aurais aimé rester plus longtemps pour pouvoir faire plus de plongées. Merci encore, Birdy ! J'espère revenir un jour ! 🐠🐢🤿❤️

Je plonge avec Island Diving depuis des années et c'est vraiment exceptionnel. Birdy et toute son équipe sont fantastiques : professionnels, soucieux de la sécurité et incroyablement sympathiques. Ils connaissent les sites de plongée locaux comme leur poche et rendent chaque sortie unique. Le bateau est très confortable et dispose d'une excellente plateforme de plongée, ce qui facilite grandement l'entrée et la sortie de l'eau. Plonger avec Birdy est toujours le point culminant de mon séjour à Saint-Barthélemy et j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner. Je recommande vivement Island Diving à tous ceux qui visitent Saint-Barthélemy et qui souhaitent vivre une aventure sous-marine inoubliable ! 🌊🐠🤿🐢🦈

J’ai eu la chance de vivre à Saint-Barthélemy pendant 8 ans, où j'ai plongé aux côtés de Birdy tout au long de ces années. Chaque plongée était une expérience unique, plus magnifique que la précédente, toujours émerveillé par la beauté incroyable de la nature sous-marine de l'île. Un immense merci à Bertrand pour son engagement en faveur de la préservation des coraux, une initiative essentielle pour la biodiversité des océans. Pendant mon séjour, j’ai également obtenu deux certifications PADI, et quoi de mieux que de le faire dans les eaux chaudes et cristallines des Caraïbes ? Je recommande vivement St. Barth Plongée, le seul centre de plongée classé PADI 5 étoiles sur l’île, pour la qualité de ses services et son professionnalisme exceptionnel.

Plonger avec Birdy est une très belle et bonne expérience. D'abord l'accueil est des plus conviviale, le bateau bien équipé avec beaucoup de place et surtout un toit pour mettre les plongeurs à l'abri du soleil avant la mise à l'eau. On arrive rapidement sur les sites de plongées. Bertrand vous propose de déguster des fruits de son propre jardin, c'est une fin de plongée agréable, surtout après tout ce que l'on voit sous l'eau Je recommande les plongées avec Birdy.
