Ecole de Plongée Isanthea

Tucked into Boulogne-Billancourt just outside Paris, Ecole de Plongée Isanthea is a diving and apnea school that bills itself as the only IDC 5 Star PADI center leading the way across Paris and Île-de-France. With 5 PADI Instructors on hand, training runs all the way from absolute beginner to instructor level, with à la carte courses scheduled around your day, evenings, or weekends.

Courses for every level

Whether you're trying scuba for the first time with PADI Discover Scuba Diving or stepping up through PADI Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver, and Enriched Air Diver, the range here is broad. There's a Dive Package and a Half-Day Dive Trip too, with sessions held in swimming pool, pit, sea, and lake. Day trips start from USD 99.

Practical dives are based around local spots such as the base de loisirs de Torcy near Paris and Aqua Haut-de-Seine. With an onsite training pool, classroom, and instruction offered in both English and French, it's a welcoming home base for divers learning close to the city.
