Knowledgeable about the coastal environment and marine habitats, our professional divers collect marine resources. The diving department is also involved in the launching and maintenance of observation buoys and numerous oceanographic instruments.

Access to the coastal marine ecosystem is provided by the vessels « Sagitta III » (chartered to the French Oceanographic Fleet) and « Pelagia ». These at-sea resources enable the deployment of instruments (probes, plankton nets, profilers) and provide support for the diving service.
