Ice diving in Tignes: Experience a unique adventure in the Alps

When you think of diving, the warm, clear waters of the tropics often spring to mind. But did you know that for thrill-seekers, there's an extraordinary adventure right in the heart of the Alps?

Ice diving in Tignes offers an unforgettable experience in icy waters, where the silence and rugged beauty of winter combine to create an exceptional moment of escape.

Ice diving is a discipline of scuba diving, practised under a layer of ice, often in mountain lakes. Unlike traditional diving, divers enter the water through a hole in the ice, which becomes the only point of entry and exit. This activity requires meticulous preparation, specific equipment and rigorous organisation to guarantee a safe experience.

Located in the heart of the French Alps, Tignes is the ideal place to try ice diving. Tignes' frozen lake offers crystal-clear water and a thick layer of ice, perfect conditions for safe diving. Evolution 2's experienced guides supervise each dive to ensure maximum safety and enjoyment.

Under the ice, divers discover underwater landscapes of rare beauty. The light shining through the ice creates fascinating visual effects, transforming the lake into a natural work of art.

Ice diving is for anyone looking for a unique experience, from beginners to experienced divers. Supervised by qualified instructors, participants can dive with peace of mind, even if it's their first time. Specially designed waterproof clothing provides optimum protection against the cold, ensuring comfortable, stress-free diving.

Ice diving requires specific equipment and expert supervision to ensure an enjoyable experience:

• Ice diving wet suit: Protects you from the cold and keeps you comfortable during the dive.
• Harness and carabiners: A harness connects each diver to the surface for added safety.
• Mask and torch: Although visibility under the ice is excellent, a torch helps to better appreciate the details of the underwater landscape.
• Professional supervision: Each session is supervised by a specialised instructor to guarantee safety and an unforgettable experience.
