| Who we are
Our dive centre has been located for over 20 years on Pamplona
Beach next to St. Tropez and Ramatuelle. First class service and
top dive spots are a matter of course with the European Diving School.
Our reward is repeated nominations at the tauchen-Award
and repeated placings in the top three for "best dive base
in the Mediterranean Sea". This is your guarantee that you
are in good and safe hands.
We offer education from PADI, CMAS and FFESSM, and for technical diving
from IANTD, to meet the highest demands.
We are a full member of the AWARD-Underwater Project!
|
| Where we are
Our main base is located at the Kon Tiki Riviera
Village between Saint Tropez and Ramatuelle (Route des Plages;
D93) on the biggest and most beautiful beach of the Côte
d´Azur, the beach of Pamplona. At the Village you will find
quarters to suit any budget, from the Tiki Hutte with all features
in Hawaiian style to Mini California – Mobile homes. The Village
is directly on the beach, and you won´t need a car during your
holiday, as the supermarket and restaurants can be found on the Village.
Your children have no roads to cross and can play without danger
in the Village Kids-Club or on the beach while you are diving with
us. Of course, non-divers are also welcome.
Our second, smaller base, can be found on the campsite “les
prairies de la mer” in Port Grimed, open from 15th June until 31st August. In April we opened a new
base in Hayers on the island of GIENS. Ramatuelle is a very beautiful,
classic Southern French small town built on top of a high rock,
dominating the area. With the old town’s maze of tiny
streets and the excellent restaurants it is well worth a visit.
Port Grimed, where we have our second base, is a town built on
the water, like Venice in Italy. With a lot of canals and bridges
Port Grimed is the little Venice of the Côte d´Azur.
Hayers, LA PRESQU’ÎLE DE GIENS lies directly in front
of the islands of Port Cros (natural underwater resort) and Porquerolles!
Opening April 2008, in a holiday village directly on the beach
like Kon Tiki!
|
| The Dive Sites |
Our dive
spots around St. Tropez, with depths ranging from 5m to 60m, are suitable for all types of diver. For technical divers we visit sites with depths
of up to 120m. We dive more than 20 wrecks!
Popular wrecks such as the submarine Le Rubis, the Donator, the Togo, the Espingole,
the Prophet, the Ramon Meumbru, the Dornier, the Le Grec, the Hellcat and the Wildcat and rocks with drop
off’s like Pamplona, Sardinaux, le Tunnel and Roche Qui Roll
etc., are fantastic dives ranked among the best in the Mediterranean
Sea.

| The Diving |
 |
The underwater world is also very varied.
You can meet Goliath
grouper, conger eels and large scaled scorpionfish right up to big
schools of barracuda.
You can also see small colourful sea slugs and
Georgina covered rocks which have a great appeal and with a bit
of luck you can see moon fish or big rays.

| Saint Tropez |
|
Saint Tropez is near Nice, Cannes and Monaco and is one of the
most popular holiday resorts on the Côte d´Azur for high society and international
stars and starlets. However, Saint Tropez
is not just for the rich and famous but is also a very nice place for anyone, with inexpensive holiday villages,
hotels and restaurants.
It attracts guests from around the world with its Southern French
charm, many entertaining cafes and very good restaurants. Saint
Tropez, fondly known to regular customers as Saint Trop´,
is very popular for the Yacht Harbour and its huge ships, as
well as for the natural countryside which has never been touched
by big concrete buildings,
and also the most beautiful and biggest sandy beach of the Côte
d´Azur.
