I will guess the same but I would not bet on it.
Should I remember you that in France the law limits our woking time to 35h/week :cool2:
 
Just seen this and thought would set the record straight on a couple of things.

Diamond Diving have their boat based in Golfe Juan, Old Port, between Cannes and Juan Les Pins

They do not insist on medical certificates for leisure divers (most of them cost twenty Euros and a Doctor will have a very cursory look at heart, ears and lungs function and sign a bit of paper) and if you check the law this requirement is recommended but not obligatory. However for all training courses they do insist on a medical.

From the ANMP website on this subject :

Le moniteur en exercice doit pouvoir présenter un certificat médical d’aptitude à la pratique et à l’enseignement de la plongée de moins d’un an.
En ce qui concerne ses clients, la loi de 1984 n’impose le certificat médical que dans le cadre de la pratique compétitive, et la délivrance d’une licence fédérale dans certains cas. Cependant, et pour des raisons évidentes de responsabilité, l’anmp conseille aux moniteurs membres de demander la présentation d’un certificat médical de non-contre-indication à la pratique de la plongée à tous ses clients, exception faite des “ baptêmes ”, appelés “premières plongées” par l’anmp. En effet, le moniteur a non seulement des obligations “légales”, mais également des “obligations de moyens”, c’est-à-dire qu’il doit s’assurer d’avoir placé son client dans les meilleures conditions possibles de sécurité. Cette visite médicale annuelle permet notamment de détecter les petits soucis qui pourraient être la source d’incidents plus graves…

They are roughly the same price, possibly a shade more expensive than other commercial operators in the area.
 
Medical certificate is not required by law, excepted in FFESSM clubs (most of the clubs are also ANMP, PADI ..., so they can allow you to dive without medical cert). But the majority of the clubs willl ask you a certificate.

If you dive on your own, you will have only one rule to respect, don't dive with a scuba and a u/W hunting equipment, and don't hunt U/W without a autorisation by the "Affaires maritimes" .
