On the Var coast, you can discover the Mediterranean like never before. A glass-walled submarine allows you to observe the biodiversity of the region, which can also be explored by scuba diving.
On the Var coast, the Mediterranean can be discovered at a depth of 1.30 metres. On board a boat, you can see gardens of posidonia and around twenty species of fish that sometimes play hide-and-seek with the explorers of the day. Even the locals get involved in the game. Upstairs, the captain comments on the blind visit. “That’s the magic of the job.”she comments. A 50-minute excursion costs 25 euros, with the hope of instilling a love of the sea from a young age.
Off the Giens peninsula, a diving club organizes aquatic hikes. Before the big jump, divers are treated to a short biology lesson. Once equipped, everyone can finally get into their own bubble. Just a few centimeters away, schools of fish can be approached. Divers feel like they are the only ones in the world in this protected area. No need for a souvenir photo for this vacation: everyone will remember the beauty of the seabed and an ecosystem that needs to be preserved.
