Plongee XL

Set on the water in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Plongee XL is a PADI 5 Star IDC dive center built around one simple promise: become a diver and experience new adventures. With 6 PADI Instructors on the team and instruction offered in English, Spanish and French, it's a welcoming base for newcomers and seasoned divers alike.

Courses and training

The center runs PADI Scuba Diving, PADI TecRec and PADI Freediving programmes, backed by an onsite training pool and a dedicated classroom. Divers looking to go further will find Trimix, Nitrox and mixed-gas fills, plus rebreather/CCR support and PADI First Aid (EFR) training.

Facilities include a retail shop, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and parking, while a full rental range covers everything from 7mm wetsuits and drysuits to dive computers, cameras and even DPV scooters — including children's sizes for younger divers. A resident dive club rounds out the experience for those who want to keep diving together.
