OLIVER SCUBA DIVING

I’m a professional scuba diving instructor with a lifelong passion for the ocean and a teaching style that’s all about safety, confidence, and fun.

I was born and raised in France to British parents, and my first underwater adventure began at the age of 10 with a PADI Bubblemaker course in a swimming pool in southern France. That one afternoon changed my life – it sparked a deep love for the ocean and ignited a passion that has driven my career ever since.

Fast forward to today, I’m a certified PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT), former Dive Supervisor, SeaTrek Helmet Diving Guide, and Emergency First Response Instructor, fluent in both English and French, with years of experience guiding divers of all levels across the globe.

Over the years, I’ve worked for some of the most respected dive operators in Thailand, Australia, and beyond – including Pro Dive Cairns, Reef Magic, DreamTime Dive & Snorkel, Experience Co, and Scuba Shack – teaching everything from Discover Scuba Diving and Open Water, all the way to Divemaster. I’ve led dive briefings for hundreds of guests, coached new divers through their fears, and fine-tuned experienced divers for advanced certifications like Rescue, Specialties, and more.

My experience spans a wide variety of dive environments: from the colourful reefs of Thailand, Corsica, and Spain, to the cooler waters of Switzerland and Northern Ireland, the remote shores of Oman, and the world-famous Great Barrier Reef in Australia, where I also participated in official Eye on the Reef health monitoring surveys.

Whether you're taking your very first breath underwater or you're looking to grow your skills as a seasoned diver, I offer private and small-group PADI courses that are tailored to you – your pace, your confidence level, and your goals. I partner with trusted dive centres to use their boats and facilities.

​

I’ve also worked as a General Manager of a dive centre, trained dive staff in rescue tender driving and knot-tying, and supported dive businesses with Google SEO, content writing, and digital marketing – so I know this world inside and out, both above and below the surface.

This isn’t just my job – it’s my lifestyle. I’m proud to help others discover it for themselves and honoured to have introduced people from all walks of life to the magic of the underwater world.
