Themed dives
In the extension of Andromeda Oceanology, study office created by Laurent Ballesta and his accomplices Pierre Descamp and Florian Holon. On the program, exploration outings, but also internships, and lectures given by instructors and biologists of Andromeda. Beyond the bio-generalist outing, dives on specific themes are organized: reproduction of nudibranchs, season of loves of seahorses, for example. Each palanquée will be equipped with a digital camera.
Introductory courses in biology
An introductory course in marine biology is scheduled on 4 full days from the September 12. In July and August, two mini-courses are already planned on 3 half-days: as Isabelle Klein, a passionate marine biology instructor, explains, "it's not just a question of diving but also of discovering, in the form of debriefing on the basis of the photographs taken during the exploration, the riches of the fauna and local flora ". These mini internships include 3 Dives and 5 theoretical lecture hours. Depending on the demand, other dates are of course possible.
Rely on the design office
The interest is also to rely on the design office for some outings. For example, the cartographies of the seabed realized by Andromède make it possible to go in search of new dive sites; the biology instructors can also take you to dive on artificial reefs, being able, at the exit, to tell you more about the subject.
Classical Explo and Training
But beyond the "special bio" dives, the center will also offer daily trips to all the classic sites off Palavas, Carnon, and Maguelone, shipwrecks and night dives. And for those who wish, technical training courses.
