CCR training in Corsica (or thereabout)

edasque · 30th April 2007, 04:33

I've been thinking about taking my parents to Corsica this summer (they live in the south of France, near Marseille and I live in Boston) for a week or so

It'd be a great opportunity for me to (1) dive in France, where I was born and raised, for the first time and (2) get CCR certified.

Does anyone know of a serious tech diving trainer there that does CCR certifications ? I'd like to get trained on an Inspiration/Evolution or an O2ptima if possible since those are the two CCRs I am looking into but I am guessing any will do ?

It'd help if the shop didn't snide at my PADI training, lack of CMAS certification and recent Adv Nitrox TDI certification.

Any idea ?

Nicolas Caprili did his rEvo instructor cross-over moths ago.
Located Corsica.
Will easely have his hours on the unit by the summer :-)

yo

I am possibly doing a trip to Europe - Poland - to do some CCR training and could teach a CCR Inspiration course in Sardinia. It would be somewhat in the beginning or in the end of September.

greetings
