This course, lasting 2 weeks, will consist of a daily dive, 5 days per week, for a total of 10 dives. These will be supervised by a graduate instructor according to the rules of supervision defined by the sport code. The dives will be conducted in open air, at a maximum depth of 6 meters for a maximum duration of 20 minutes. A matched group (gender, age, height, weight and BMI) will be composed of patients (n=12) who will not complete the Scuba Diving Discovery Course (GP- Virtual reality group). The subjects of this group will follow virtual reality sessions recreating the environment in which the scuba divers of the GP+ group operate. A control group (GT) will be composed of patients (n=12) who are monitored and treated for PTSD and who will not attend the dive discovery course or virtual reality sessions. * The main evaluation criterion will be the NON-INVASIVE determination of salivary alpha amylase. * Secondary evaluation criteria will be heart rate variation, CGI, HAD and BECK Anxiety, EGF, PCL-S and IES questionary.
