How are the dives organized?
The morning meeting time is set for 8:00 AM, with departure between 9:15 AM and 9:30 AM. Return to the dock is scheduled between 3:30 PM and 5:00 PM. The center is open and welcomes you during these hours.
By default, and unless otherwise instructed, we always head out for the day with all the necessary equipment for our two dives, without returning to the dock between dives. Please bring a packed lunch.
Also, make sure you have everything you need to protect yourself from the heat and the cold.
You can store your belongings overnight in a secure area at the center. If you plan to depart by train at the end of your stay, do not schedule a departure from Saint Charles Station before 6:30 PM.
Weather report
Follow the marine weather forecast to best prepare for your dives in Marseille ( https://www.windguru.cz/9355) .
Some information regarding the weather :
The Mistral (a north to west wind) consistently brings cool air and pushes the warm water out to sea, where it is replaced by cooler water from the depths. Despite the low temperatures, the Mistral quickly clears the clouds, ensuring sunny skies. Pack a drysuit or thick wetsuit, a windbreaker, and sunglasses.
The easterly wind (as its name suggests) generally brings warm, humid air. It's the wind of clouds and rain. It's very welcome after a Mistral wind because it quickly brings back the warm water carried out to sea. The port of Pointe Rouge is perfectly sheltered from easterly winds. When the easterly wind is moderate, it's possible to dive on the wrecks in the bay: the Drôme, the Miquelon, the Ker Bihan…
