Nature Essentielle - Plonger, Explorer, Proteger is a PADI Dive Resort based at Port du Beal in Cannes-Mandelieu, on the French Riviera, state-approved since 2010 by the French youth-and-sport and education ministries. The club's dive team, made up of state-certified (DEJEPS) instructors and PADI professionals, runs the full training path from Discover Scuba Diving through PADI Open Water, Advanced Open Water and specialty courses (buoyancy, underwater photography, boat diving, deep diving, navigation, night diving) up to professional-level Divemaster training, plus guided exploration and fun dives around the Iles de Lerins, the Esterel coast and Cap d'Antibes. Alongside diving, the center runs half-day snorkeling trips to the Iles de Lerins, whale-watching excursions in the Pelagos Sanctuary respecting the ACCOBAMS code of conduct, full-day island outings combining snorkeling with yoga or hiking, evening firework-watching cruises in Cannes Bay, and private VIP boat charters with a dive instructor on board. Nature Essentielle also organizes nature-education camps and mountain expeditions for children and teenagers in the Mercantour and Prealpes d'Azur, combining outdoor skills, wildlife observation and environmental awareness on land with its marine activities at sea. The operation favors small groups and an eco-responsible approach across all of its sea and mountain programs.
