Diving in Nice

[j groleau]

I'm heading to Nice, France this Friday for a week and would love to get wet!. Does anyone have any advice as to which dive shops to recommend/avoid, sites to dive/avoid?

This is my first dive in Europe and I'd appreciate any other advice any of you might have.

Few places where I've never been, I've asked to my friends diving down there.

Menton :
PALMES BEACH - MENTON - Accueil
Nice:

Antibes ( where we will go diving in October with 2 dozens of friends...so , if you could just check the boats for us ? )

Also, don't forget that for diving in France a medical certicate is required . Your GP could do it : he just has sign down this ( saying that you're fit to dive)

What are your diving certifications ? I've seen you are an instructor. padi ? cmas ? other ?
and what kind of dive do you want to do ?
Cool diving ?
Deep diving and walls ? ( Nice is a good place for this )
Wreck diving ? ( Nice is not the place for that)
