The boats
The centre operates a 7.5-metre diving boat powered by a 225 CV engine. It is specifically equipped for diving operations and includes essential safety gear, a sonar, and VHF radio.
The vessel is used for various types of outings, including standard explorations, night dives, and drift dives. It serves as the platform for visiting the many wreck sites and coastal features of the Finistère north coast.

The shore-based facilities include dedicated male and female changing rooms and hot showers. A compressor station is available on-site for cylinder filling.
For those requiring rental kit, the centre stocks 7mm neoprene wetsuits for both men and women, along with various cylinder sizes including 6, 10, 12, and 15-litre options. Rental equipment also includes BCDs, regulators with octopus, adjustable fins, and boots. Divers can also hire dive computers, compasses, and torches for night diving.
Dive sites with Korejou Plongee
The Amoco-Cadiz is a massive Liberian tanker resting on a sandy bottom at 30 metres. The rear section of the wreck is accessible at just 6 metres, making it a significant site for various skill levels.
Levenvale is an English steamer that lies at 18 metres. Because it was carrying cement, the wreck has been remarkably preserved, though divers should be mindful of swell when approaching.
The T-27 is a 102-metre German torpedo boat resting at an average depth of 18 metres. The water is typically clear here, and the depth allows for long no-decompression dives, making it an ideal site for those at the Niveau 1 level.
The Elektra is a small Greek cargo ship located at an average depth of 18 metres near Portsall. It is a relatively easy dive, provided you avoid periods of high tidal coefficients.

Diving conditions
The diving season runs from February to November. Divers should be aware that certain sites, such as the Elektra, are best visited when tidal coefficients are low to ensure safe and easy access.
As the centre operates in the Aber Benoît area, local conditions can be influenced by the tides and swell, particularly when approaching wrecks or navigating coastal features.
