Diving in Malta: my top 5 dive sites all around the island
Malta might be the smallest country in the European Union, but the southern Mediterranean archipelago has earned the title of the scuba diving capital of Europe. And it was by building up its dive map since the 1970s. Besides clear blue waters all year, the Maltese islands offer one of Europe’s largest densities of shipwrecks and scenic cavern systems. Until recently, I would have …
2 weeks in Gran Canaria: my ultimate itinerary for scuba divers
Gran Canaria is often nicknamed the mini continent island among the Canary Islands. I now understand why due to its surprising variety of landscapes. Last summer, I was lucky to spend a month exploring the capital island of the Spanish archipelago. I had plenty of time to try things up between scuba diving in Gran Canaria and experimenting if Las Palmas could be my …
Diving in Gran Canaria: my top 5 dive sites all around the island
Thanks to a previous short trip to Tenerife, I knew diving in the Canary Islands was underrated. So, I was excited to have a month diving in Gran Canaria to explore their waters further. Smaller than Tenerife, the island serves as the local capital of the Spanish archipelago. Maybe it isn’t fair to compare a 4-day trip in Tenerife with a 4-week trip to …

After hours of research, I finally narrowed …

Spring diving in Toulon
Month after month, we keep being locked down every time the pandemic figures get a bit too crazy. Right after New Year’s Eve, I felt massive fatigue to the point of reaching the limit of genuinely losing it. I needed fresh air; I needed water more than anything. When the opportunity came to return to Toulon, my main scuba diving base in France, for …
Rediscovering my local dive sites in Brittany
For most of us, scuba diving equals travelling to warm and exotic destinations. While I can’t deny how good it feels to dive in 30°C crystal clear water for hours, in times when travel is not possible, does it mean we should give up on our favourite aquatic sport? Have you ever searched what was available in your area in terms of local diving? …
