Questions
Being comfortable in the water is enough. You wear a 5mm neoprene wetsuit that provides excellent buoyancy. A water entry test can be offered at the start of the outing to reassure those who are less at ease.
Never. Every jump has an alternative: downclimbing, a slide, or a rappel, depending on the section. You choose your level of engagement at each obstacle, without group pressure.

A swimsuit under the wetsuit, closed-toe shoes you don’t mind getting wet, a towel for afterward. Étienne provides all technical equipment.

The outing is postponed or refunded. Étienne monitors conditions daily, and safety takes precedence over everything else — whitewater canyoning is not something to negotiate with the weather.
