The goal of le paradis des bulles is to propose another way of diving. To propose at the mean time an approach more responsible of diving, but also to enjoy more your diving days. It’s a hobby and it should stays it!
We think that the simplest and fastest way to reduce our greenhouse gaz emissions is to change our habits.
So we decided to propose day trip or even several days: for example for 2 Days we do 5 dives before returning to the port. Also we don’t sail fast, we take the time so divers can enjoy the landscape and the fuel consumption is reduced.
It is also an opportunity to know each other better.
Moreover we want to share our passion for diving the way we like it. So without stress in taking our time, enjoy the moment. For customers to have fun, the whole team must also have fun! We have been working for several years on breathing and relaxation before diving. And to go further, Simon followed a sophrology training.
Fortunately for us, both constraints « protect the environment » and share our passion the way we like it » combine perfectly. Since the solution we choose answer those demands.
We, divers, feel it since a long time… Diving is good for our organism and our head! It gives us feelings that we cannot find somewhere else…
Since several years, more and more studies are realised on the subject… What was only feelings is revealed to be true! The clinical studies has shown that diving is more effective to reduce stress than other outdoor activties, but also its effects last longer.
Diving helps to escape our daily routine more and more connected. It’s the opportunity to find yourself in nature, discover another universe below the surface.
If Diving bring a lot of benefits to your body, nevertheless, the immersion phase creates stress. The equipments step(contorting to fit in your wetsuit, putting on your BCD, tank on your back…) is a time when the heart rate accelerates.
By practicing slow diving we will make sure to eliminate the stress related to the organization, we take the tile to answer questions about the activity if there are any, and you can find out as much as you can about the dive site you are going to visit and the marine life you can encounter. So you can get into water full of confidence.
It is still early, the village of Port-Vendres comes alive slowly. You are both soothed by this calm atmosphere and excited by the day you are about to live.
You cross the bridge of the e-sperança and are greeted with a smile by the captain and his crew. You meet the other passengers: 12 people maximum to promote a good atmosphere and personalized services.
You listen with a somewhat distracted ear to the briefing concerning the organization on board and the course of the day. Your mind is already at sea… Rest assured, we are setting sail. The time of navigation is conducive to know more about the history of the coast and its points of interest.
Here we are on the dive site! The team presents the place and the species you can meet there. Thanks to the books and the fauna & flora plates, blennies, gobies, groupers, flabellines and sponges will have -almost- no more secrets for you!
All right, you feel ready! Take turns or in small groups, let yourself slip into the water equipped with hot suits to discover this underwater universe in comfort. In a bottle or on a guided hike, enter the world of silence…
After having tasted the big blue, extend this moment of pleasure as you see fit: swimming, paddle, reading, napping… There’s something for everyone!
At noon, everyone happily participates in the preparation of lunch, which will be taken together.
Above all, keep your eyes open on the way back: you may have the chance to see dolphins or moonfish during navigation.
Diving is a reconnection to the natural environment. Spending a day at sea and living to the rhythm of nature allows you to completely detach yourself from a hyper-connected world where you can no longer take the time.
Much more than diving, it is a whole experience that can be found by choosing the Paradise of Bubbles!
