Isula

Located at the Base nautique on the Route des Sanguinaires in Ajaccio, Isula Plongée serves as a gateway to the marine environments of Corsica. The centre is positioned perfectly for those looking to explore the archipelago of the Iles Sanguinaires, a region known for its varied underwater topography.

Whether you are looking for a first experience in the water or are a technical diver seeking advanced gas blends, the centre operates with a focus on the specific needs of the local environment. Their dual affiliation with FFESSM and PADI allows them to bridge the gap between French national training standards and international certification requirements.

The team at Isula is composed of six experienced professionals, including MF1 and MF2 instructors, as well as National Instructors and PADI professionals. This depth of expertise ensures that both recreational and professional-level training is handled with technical precision.

The centre manages a range of certifications, from basic introductory dives to professional monitor-level courses. All instruction is conducted in French, providing a local and focused atmosphere for those following the FFESSM or PADI pathways.

Isula Plongée offers an extensive curriculum covering the full range of diving progression. Beginners can start with introductory dives or move through the standard FFESSM and PADI certification paths, including N3 and PADI Open Water Diver.

For more advanced divers, the centre specialises in technical training. They offer Nitrox courses (including FFESSM Nitrox confirmé and PADI Enriched Air Diver) and Trimix training. Professional training is also a core component of their service, with courses ranging from Initiateur and GP N4 up to MF1, MF2, and Moniteur Pro levels. The RIFAP qualification is also available for those interested in rescue and first aid.

The centre is equipped to support both technical and recreational diving needs. Nitrox is available for divers looking to extend their bottom times, and the facility is set up to support Trimix diving for those undertaking technical training.

For those not travelling with their own kit, a selection of equipment is available for hire. The centre also maintains an online shop for purchasing diving equipment and offers e-learning modules to support your training before you arrive on site.
