La Sirene Plongee

In business since 1989, La Sirène Plongée built its reputation by being the first to look after beginners and inexperienced divers. Over the years that focus has grown into a program designed specifically for new learners, where the goal is simple: to merge and blend into the underwater environment while having fun and recharging your batteries.

A patient, sensory approach to learning

Learning starts in shallow water in the onsite training pool, so you can develop the basics of breathing, immersion and movement at your own pace. Rather than a rushed, overly commercial introduction, the Discover Scuba Diving course here treats the underwater world as an adventure in personal discovery, helping land swimmers become thoughtful, comfortable divers.

This PADI 5 Star Dive Resort operates in Banyuls and Port-Vendres with a PADI Instructor and a dive boat. It offers air fills, scuba equipment rental and kids' equipment rental, with PADI scuba diving and snorkelling on the menu. Open seven days a week and welcoming guests in English and French, it suits first-timers and curious newcomers looking for a gentle, attentive start.
