Located between Biscarrosse and Arcachon, Lake Cazaux covers 5,800 hectares straddling the Gironde and Landes regions. Surrounded by pine forests and home to a rich array of aquatic flora and fauna (fish, otters, birds, etc.), it is a popular spot for a host of activities, including scuba diving! So if you are keen to discover a unique underwater world near Bordeaux, don't wait any longer to take your first dive at Lake Cazaux!

This lake, also known as Lake Sanguinet, has a mild temperature and calm waters, ideal conditions for a first dive. You will get into the water one by one, each alongside an instructor who will be dedicated to ensuring you have a completely safe experience. Your first dive in Lake Cazaux will last around 20 minutes and will take you to a maximum depth of 6 metres to discover the incredible sensations of this water sport, as well as the fish that inhabit this natural site.

It was very nice. The only point was: the instructor gave not much instructions to us. We think bevause we were English spoken. Another group french spoken people got instructions but we didn’t.
