The approach
These expeditions are not simply diving holidays: they are educational, scientific immersions. By meeting animals in their natural environment, every diver becomes an ambassador for their protection.
Become part of the research: identifying individuals, analysing behaviour, environmental surveys, laser photogrammetry… Your observations go to our partner organisations on site.
Our expeditions suit every profile: some require no diving qualification at all, others a minimum of CMAS** / PADI Advanced with a set number of logged dives — so everyone finds their place, whatever their experience. The one common requirement: being comfortable in the water and/or good buoyancy control, both essential to interact calmly with the animals.
Coming soon: Brittany! On the trail of the porbeagle shark — pre-registration open by email at contact@margauxlebrun.com
