European Diving School runs two PADI dive centers on the French Riviera (Cote d'Azur): one in the bay of Pampelonne next to Cap Camarat, a few minutes from Saint-Tropez, and one on the Giens peninsula near Hyeres, plus a base at Port Grimaud. The team operates its own dive boats and offers the full range from snorkeling and try-dives to beginner and advanced courses, kids diving, Nitrox and technical diving. The area is known for wreck dives (the submarine Rubis, the Donator, the Grec, the Togo) and for the Port-Cros National Park, with reef dives around capes such as Cap Camarat featuring barracuda schools and large groupers. Many instructors and guides are trained in-house, and the school has repeatedly been recognized by the German diving magazine Tauchen as one of the best dive centers on the Mediterranean. Multilingual (English, German, French) staff and mobile-home lodging near the bases are available on request.
