| Who we are
Our dive centre has been located for over 20 years on the Pamplona
Beach next to St. Tropez and Ramatuelle. First class service and
top dive spots are a matter of course for the European Diving School.
Our reward for that is the repeated nomination at the tauchen-Award
and the continuous placing in the top three for the 'best dive base
in the Mediterranean Sea'. This is a guarantee for you that you
are in good and safe hands.
We offer education of PADI, CMAS, FFESSM and for Technical-Diving
IANTD, to meet highest demands.
We are full member of the AWARD-Underwater Project!
|
| Where we are
Our Main Base is located on the Kon Tiki Riviera
Village between Saint Tropez and Ramatuelle (Route des Plages;
D93) on the biggest and the most beautiful beach of the Côte
d´Azur, the beach of Pamplona. At the village you will find
quarters for any budget, from the Tiki Hutte with all features
at Hawaii style to Mini California – Mobile homes. The Village
is directly on the Beach. You don´t need a car during your
holiday, supermarket and restaurants can be found on the Village.
Your children have no roads to cross and can play without danger
in the village Kids-Club or on the beach when you are diving with
us. Of course non-divers are welcome.
Our second, smaller base, you find on the Campsite “les
prairies de la mer” in Port Grimed.
Open from 15 of June until 31. August. In April we open a new
base in Hayers on the island of GIENS. Ramatuelle a very beautiful
classic Southern French small town built on top of a high rock,
dominating the area. With the old town’s maze of small/tiny
streets and excellent restaurants it is well worth a visit.
Port Grimed, where we have our second base, is a town built in
the water like Venice in Italy. With a lot of canals and bridges
Port Grimed is the small Venice of the Côte d´Azur.
Hayers, LA PRESQU’ÎLE DE GIENS lies directly in front
of the islands of Port Cros (natural underwater resort) and Porquerolles!
Opening April 2008, in a holiday village directly on the beach
like Kon Tiki!

Meumbru, Dornier, Le Grec, Hellcat, Wildcat etc and rocks with drop

| The Diving |
 |
The underwater world is also very varied.
You can meet Goliath
grouper, Conger eel, large scaled Scorpion-fish right up to big
Barracuda schools . As well you can see small coloured slugs and
Georgina covered rocks which have a great appeal and with a bit
of luck you can see moon fish or big rays.

| Saint Tropez |
|
Saint Tropez is near Nice, Cannes and Monaco and is one of the
most popular holiday resorts for the High Society and international
stars and starlets on the Côte d´Azur. But Saint Tropez
is a very nice place for everybody, with cheap holiday villages,
hotels and restaurants!
It attracts guests from around the world with its Southern French
charm, many entertaining cafes and very good restaurants. Saint
Tropez, fondly known to regular customers as Saint Trop´,
is very popular for the Yacht harbour and its huge ships , as
well as for the natural countryside which has never been touched
by big concrete buildings,
and also the most beautiful and biggest sandy beach of the Côte
d´Azur.
