Combine camping and diving with Yelloh! Village

Choosing a campsite for a diving holiday allows you to retain all the freedom of an outdoor break while enjoying an exciting activity that reveals every facet of a destination and its coastline.

At Yelloh! Village, several campsites allow you to go diving directly on site, while others are just a few minutes away from diving clubs, centres or suitable spots.

You can plan a one-off outing, arrange several dives during your stay or use your holiday as an opportunity to discover the activity.

With Yelloh! Village, choose campsites where diving truly forms part of the holiday experience.

At Yelloh! Village Sant Miquel, on the Costa Brava, a diving centre is located directly within the campsite. It offers the opportunity to discover the activity, undertake training or set off to explore the surrounding seabed.

At Yelloh! Village La Plage du Dramont, a diving club is also located in the heart of the campsite, providing particularly convenient access to Mediterranean diving sites.

Other Yelloh! Village campsites also list diving as an activity available on site, with access to diving centres just a few metres from the campsite.

Diving is not limited to the seabed.

In the Mediterranean as well as along the Atlantic coast, it allows you to explore very different environments depending on the destination: rocky formations, local wildlife, seagrass meadows or deeper areas.

Some lakes also offer diving opportunities. The experience is different from diving at sea, with other landscapes, different light and specific conditions.

Choosing your campsite according to its surroundings is therefore a great way to vary your experiences and discover new diving sites throughout your holiday.

You do not need to be an experienced diver to discover the underwater world during your holiday.

Close to several Yelloh! Village campsites, diving centres offer try dives, introductory sessions and training courses, allowing you to discover the activity gradually with suitable supervision.

More experienced divers can use their stay to explore a new site, rediscover the sensations of immersion or continue practising in a different environment.

You can also take your first look beneath the surface with snorkelling. This increasingly popular activity involves staying at the surface to observe clear waters in relatively shallow areas. A simple mask and snorkel are all you need to start exploring. A gentle way to become familiar with the underwater world before taking the plunge into diving.

Going from several metres beneath the surface back into the open air: a holiday focused on diving does not mean missing out on everything that makes camping holidays so enjoyable.

After a dive at sea or in a lake, the day can continue at the water park, along nearby trails, with a family activity or simply on the terrace of your accommodation. Everyone can shape their holiday at their own pace, combining underwater discoveries, nature and relaxing moments.

That is also the appeal of a Yelloh! Village holiday: being able to fully enjoy your passion for diving while returning to the comfort and freedom of an outdoor holiday at a 4 or 5-star campsite once you are back on dry land. Upmarket holiday villages where your wellbeing is at the heart of everything our Artisans of Happiness do, supporting you throughout your stay.
