Geelong Dive Centre is hoping it can help divers return to the water soon.
The centre has had to put its diving lessons on hold due to COVID-19 with its last lessons held in March.
But the family-owned business has been trying to keep things ticking over by offering at-home eLearning for the theory component of dive courses.
The full audio-visual course allows students to work at their own pace anywhere in the world and means more time in the water later on when restrictions allow.
The centre’s shop is still open and there’s an online shop for people’s diving needs.
The business, which is located on Moorabool Street, has been in the area since 1983 and is a one-stop-shop for everything scuba, spearfishing, snorkelling, freediving and archery related.
Also at the centre, is a Dive Museum which showcases an impressive collection of older diving equipment that stretches back to the early days of diving.
Dave Summers runs the business and has an intense passion for the underwater world.
He began snorkelling and spearfishing, buying the Geelong Dive Centre at the age of 19.
Summers is the senior training officer at the centre and enjoys introducing his students to the wonders of the underwater world.
“We pride ourselves on our success to train confident, safe divers using the most current teaching methods and most modern equipment and facilities available,” the centre’s website states.
