vacation!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Initiated to the joys of underwater diving at a young age, Aurore (BEES 1 and PADI Instructor) and Franz (BEES 2 and PADI Instructor) immersed themselves in diving as a passion and a way of life, as well as a profession. They became instructors respectively at the age of 24 and 19, and have never hung up their fins since.<\/p>\n<p>After having a few seasons in the south of France, Aurore co-ran a school and dive shop in Lyon, where she became an expert in equipment and lake and quarry diving (brrrrr &#8230;) and will continue to practice at the famous Meyzieu dive pit.<\/p>\n<p>As for Franz, he has spent time in his early years around the globe, especially in Egypt or the south of France, and sometimes even in Corsica. Finally came the revelation: the day they discovered the Maldives, and fell literally in love with this little terrestrial and aquatic paradise, rich with its underwater inhabitants, big or small, which they never tire of.<\/p>\n<p>A keen pelagic lover in all its forms (especially sharks) and with years of experience in Maldivian waters, Franz will go above and beyond to find the perfect spot to satisfy his divers.<\/p>\n<p>Aurore will be happy to help you discover and share the magical world of the Maldives, bringing her sweetness with a personal touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aurore and Franz know all the Maldives atolls and dive sites like the back of their hands and are perfectly able to answer all the questions you have in terms of diving, luggage, flights, your trip etc\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Aurore and Franz will be able to help you choose the course that suits you according to your expectations.
