PMT
There is a section on diving and it mentions the various types of equipment that they provide and I believe that PMT has something to do with the flippers etc but I'm not sure.
The term only appears once: "Le matériel PMT Le centre se fournit auprès de Spiro/Aqualung"
Thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

L'abréviation PMT signifie Palmes, Masque, Tuba.
Il s'agit du matériel de base pour faire de la promenade subaquatique. En anglais, et très couramment dans le language des plongeurs, on parle de snorkeling.

La randonnée subaquatique, également dénommée "randonnée palmée", se définit comme une
«promenade de surface» en milieu naturel, muni de Palmes, Masque et Tuba (PMT) et souvent d'un
vêtement néoprène, avec la possibilité d'effectuer des plongées en apnée plus ou moins fréquentes et profondes.
Les clubs associatifs et les SCA de la FFESSM organisent les activités de randonnée subaquatique en
prenant en compte les préconisations fédérales décrites ci-dessous.

Mask – Allows your eyes to see clearly underwater.
Snorkel – Lets you breathe at the surface with your face in the water without wasting air from your scuba unit.
Fins – Allow you to swim using only your powerful leg muscles.
