He first took these classes in the French Navy as a submariner and then moved into the world of yachting. These two experiences were complementary and taught him the rigor and self-sacrifice that are essential in today's society. After obtaining his own merchant navy captain's diplomas, he decided to pass on the knowledge he had accumulated over the years. In fact, some maritime training courses do not meet the ever-increasing expectations of this constantly evolving industry. This is why he wanted to set up a program aimed at obtaining the right information in the simplest and clearest way possible. His priority has always been to facilitate access to this vast expanse, which we call the "OCEAN" and will remain so as long as there are enthusiasts there to navigate it. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Let's support sea rescuers! 7,000 volunteers fight 24/7 to save our lives at sea in all weathers and in all places.
