Diamond diving are a PADI Award winning dive centre (based in Golfe Juan) and since December 2012, 5*IDC Resort. This means they train from complete beginner right up to Instructor in the PADI system of diver education

The bluewater training team is delighted to announce that we are now able to offer 3 levels of PADI courses in partnership with Diamond Diving. Courses will begin in March 2014 and will take place at Diamond Diving's PADI 5* IDC resort in Golfe Juan. Watersports are a fundamental part of guest enjoyment onboard luxury yachts and although we currently offer Jet Ski Certification (PWC & PWCI), we do see the need to offer additional recreational training in order to remain industry leaders in yacht crew training. With the help of experienced partners, such as Diamond Diving, hopefully 2014 will allow us to do exactly that!

...after January 1st 2014 Are you aware of the new requirements for all crew working onboard vessels that comply with the ISPS code (generally: commercial yachts over 500gt)

New Year and a new start... why not try something different? Whether you are thinking of coming over to the Mediterranean to do your first season on a yacht, if you are returning back into the industry or you are jumping ship, there is nothing wrong with early preparation for this coming Med season. The early bird catches the worm and in yachting, there's no better way to get yourself on the market and prepared as soon as you can! There are some fabulous jobs out there for the season and to grab these jobs you must get in there first! Don't miss the boat! As they say..

What a night! Last Friday the 6th of December, we held a beautiful Christmas carol concert to raise money for the SNSM Antibes lifeboat service. We sold out of all of our tickets and in total to raise a whopping 2267.41 euros!
