Isanthea Paris

Tucked into Boulogne-Billancourt on the edge of Paris, the ISANTHEA Paris Diving School is a PADI 5 Star IDC centre that runs training all year round in both English and French. With a Course Director permanently on site and a team of five PADI instructors, it's built for divers who want to go the distance — from complete beginner right through to OWSI, IDC staff and Master Instructor.

Courses and where you'll train

The à la carte programme spans scuba, freediving, mermaid, tec and snorkelling, alongside EFR first aid and adaptive diving. You'll build skills in the onsite training pool and pits at 5m, 10m and 20m, then take it into open water at the base de loisir Jablines, a lake roughly 30 minutes from Paris.

On site you'll find a classroom, retail shop, aquarium/deep pool, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and parking, plus air fills, nitrox and a full range of equipment rental and sales. With its friendly, security-first approach, it suits Parisian divers chasing certifications close to home.
