Octopus Dive is up and running!

3 months since we started our scuba diving school and have had a few students already.

Thanks to beautiful connections, word of mouth and knocking on doors, I can proudly say that we are up and running.

Our main stream of work is getting students through their certifications for them to become qualified scuba divers and be able to enjoy this activity with minimal supervision.

Can I just try scuba?

Yes!… We encourage you to try first. we provide an experience for the once just wanting to challenge themselves in something new. Scuba diving is still seen as a risky and scary activity but so many look forward to try and just don’t know how.

We bring the experience to them in their own pool. They can proudly say that they have been trying scuba and know what it feels like without getting to much into the technical side of it. Or if you want to push the challenge a little more, try scuba in the lake. Highly supervised, we take care of all the technical side and you hang on to your instructor until you are comfortable to let go.

What else do you offer?

We create events and gather together with experienced divers. Our Clean-Up dive in Lake Eacham. The lake is a popular swimming location and a Dive Against Debris after the school holidays is a nice way to keep our lake pristine. We collect and sort the trash and put up a survey with Project Aware. A not-for-profit organisation working with volunteer scuba divers in keeping our waterways clean and healthy. Anyone is welcome to join and help, even snorkelers.

So much more to come as I look forward to growing interest in this beautiful sport.

We are a French couple living the Australian dream. Arrived in 2007, we have worked our way up in the hotel industry, Fred as a Head Chef and me as a Duty Manager. After 5 years running our own restaurant, we have decided to sell our business to make space to our little Bub coming around June 2018. It was sad to say goodbye to our customers and seeing the restaurant being changed to something different but our heart has taken a different approach in life and is sending us on a journey into sailing with our child. Follow us for more details ;) Thank you for joining us. A bientôt! Melanie & Frederic (& now little William ;) View more posts
