Palmes Beach Menton

ABOUT US Our Menton-based legacy diving centre has been in business for over 50 years. Since 2022, it has been run by an Italian-French team: Olivier, Paolo and Roberto, who welcome you all year round. The staff is made up of expert instructors who graduated from the French state school, on top of being SSI, CMAS, TDI, FFESSM and FIAS instructors. They will take you to explore the seabeds of three different countries: Italy, France and the Principality of Monaco. Apart from recreational diving, Palmes Beach is also a scuba diving training centre, shop and after-sales service centre for leading brands of diving equipment.

DIVING Over 40 dive sites await you between Italy, France and the Principality of Monaco, stretching from Capo Ampelio in Bordighera, to the Bay of Villefranche near Nice.
