AQUALONDE DIVING: A PRO “CLUB”

Port-Cros, Porquerolles, Donator, Gabinière, Barge aux congres, Grec, Pointe de Montrémiant, Rubis, Togo… Mythical names, including all the divers of the world, even if they have not yet had the opportunity to soak their fins in it, have heard of it. "Spots" which are part of the "genetic" heritage of the diver, essential dives that you must have done at least once in your life as a woman or as a frogman. It is a multitude of atmospheres, decorations, atmospheres that the nature reserve of Port-Cros protects within it. "100 dives ... what am I saying ... 1000 ... would not be enough to go around it" whispers to us, between 2 glasses of rosé, Christian Petron, a regular among the regulars, who has frequented the area for over 40 years.

AQUALONDE IN THE LONDE MAURES

Jêrome Boutié says "JéJé" ... if it is not JéJe says "Jêrome Boutié" ... Anyway, JéJé is what we call a Character with a BIG P. He has been posing for 17 years. his oval balloon and his fins at La Londe les Maures. This native Toulousain, however, kept the accent, punctuations and love of the 3^emuscular half-time that only the southwest knows how to give.

JéJé is like diving: you like it or you don't! But there is no room for indifference. "Commercial structure… no, but do I have a structure face ??? We are a commercial club! I made the choice to live off my passion and create a company for it, but that doesn't mean that my diving stops when you get out of the water! I have the club spirit and that's how it is! ”

THE BARGE AT THE CONGRESS

Off the Pointe de Montrémian is the famous “Barge aux Congres”. No one is really able to give the true story of this barge which must have sunk with a load of bricks on board. The wreck by itself is not very spectacular, it is of modest size. We find on the latter the remains of the crane but it is a small wreck about 20 m long and which is often exposed to the current. The interest of this dive reserved for experienced divers (-48m) is of course the presence of congers who have taken up residence on the wreck. Intertwined with each other, you will be surprised at how big some specimens are. As “feeding” is now prohibited in Port-Cros, calm has returned, but some “elders” will certainly remember dives where, with the help of a few sardines, the atmosphere was rather electric! We regularly find mostelles and capons, not to mention a large dentate bank that often crosses in the area and that you will meet during the descent or ascent.

THE STRUCTURE ... FORGET THE CLUB COMMERCIAL

Ideally located in the heart of the port of La Londe 30 meters from the boat, AQUALONDE has a pleasant terrace for coffee and aperitifs.
It is an AQUA LUNG center capable of diving around fifty people.

JéJé and his team have 3 boats to take you to discover the incredible spots of the area: the IDEFIXE II capable of carrying 25 divers and 2 semi-rigid: the TOMAWAK and the Calypso

La Londe les Maures has a very large hotel base, which allows JéJé to offer you multiple accommodation solutions for both individuals and groups.
