Qualified, passionate instructors
The Algajola Sport & Nature dive team is made up of experienced instructors, trained in different teaching systems and used to guiding a wide range of profiles: beginners, children, certified divers, autonomous divers, clubs, and FFESSM, ANMP or PADI courses.

Why dive with us
Diving with Algajola Sport & Nature means choosing a professional outfit based right on Algajola beach, with a team that knows the sites between Calvi and L'Île-Rousse inside out.

How we guide and teach
Our teaching is based on three principles: safety, adaptation and enjoyment. Safety means thorough briefings, well-maintained equipment, attentive supervision and precise knowledge of the sites.
Adapting means offering a dive that matches each diver's level, experience and fitness. Enjoyment remains at the heart of it: discovering, observing, progressing and making the most of the marine environment.
