JOIN THE TEAM

(Careers)

Founded in Port Douglas in 2003 by the world record setting deep scuba team, built on the principals established during those recording breaking years (2000-2001), two decades later, our core team largely unchanged, we focus on Bespoke Private Training, Curated Dive Expeditions and supporting our divers with best in class Equipment Sales and Product Servicing.

The company remains family owned, and we do things a little bit differently to a typical dive store, which means, and we’re happy to admit it, we are not for everyone.

We have staff based here in Australia (Port Douglas) and deployments in New Zealand, Japan, UK/Europe and USA/Mexico. Our small team have worked in diverse locations and industries before electing a ‘sea change’, and bring a wealth of experience, commitment and passion with them – a team with global knowledge, and a passion for LUXE Travel, Great Food and Bespoke Dive Experiences.

Our focus is on developing the diver’s principal piece of equipment – themselves – a knowledgeable and sophisticated diver. To this end our courses are thorough, challenging and safely conducted. Our record speaks for itself.
