Enjoy a day of snorkelling and scuba diving in the Cerbère-Banyuls National Nature Reserve for an unforgettable experience in the Mediterranean Sea!

The qualified instructors of Plongée Cap Cerbère invite you to avoid the crowds on the beaches of the Côte Vermeille, between Argelès-sur-Mer and Portbou, by joining them for a day full of discoveries at Cap Cerbère. On the programme, a morning devoted to snorkelling on the surface of the water, followed by an afternoon during which you will have the pleasure of taking a first dive in the Cerbère-Banyuls National Nature Reserve. And all this less than an hour's drive from Perpignan!

On the Côte Vermeille, the water temperature generally reaches 23°C in summer, providing perfect conditions for snorkelling at Cap Cerbère. Swimming independently under the supervision of an instructor from the boat, you will spend 40 to 45 minutes snorkelling, watching the underwater life flourish in the reserve. You will be amazed by sauper fish, starfish, common sars, octopus and many other fish!

In the afternoon, you will once again be able to admire this superb biodiversity, but this time you will discover some surprising new sensations, such as breathing underwater. You will be fully immersed for a 20-minute first dive at Cap Cerbère, to a maximum depth of 6 metres. An instructor will stay by your side throughout the experience to make sure you feel like a fish in water!

Refreshing and rich in discoveries, this day combining snorkelling and scuba diving at Cap Cerbère will leave you with magnificent memories of the Côte Vermeille and its sublime Cerbère-Banyuls National Nature Reserve!
