Who is Julien Garnier? My Story in the World of Diving

Diving has been my greatest passion since my early years.

Indeed, since the age of 10, my father, a former instructor within the French Federation of Diving, introduced me to this fascinating world for the first time, and it changed my life.

After dedicating several hundred hours to this activity and through a gradual climb up the ranks, I managed to become a diving professional in 2015.

While working for many seasons as a diving instructor and guide in countries such as Spain, Egypt, Sudan, the Maldives, Malta, and the Canary Islands, I continued my training to progressively become a cave diving instructor, a rebreather diving instructor, as well as a technical diving instructor in trimix, sidemount, and wreck diving.

More resently and in 2022, my journey led me to become an Instructor Training within the prestigious diving agency IANTD, while continuing to meet the needs of the most demanding divers, offering thousands of hours of technical diving in deep waters and caves.

Who is Julien Garnier? Currently

I have chosen to establish myself in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, an area that I consider ideal due to the diversity and splendor of its underwater landscapes, as well as the opportunities it offers for both recreational and technical diving training.

Indeed, the island of Cozumel and the surrounding cenotes provide divers of all levels with the opportunity to marvel at their beauties and magic while advancing in recreational diving, cave diving. technical diving, sidemount, and more.

Additionally, the ideal climate that prevails year-round will enhance your experience.

Thus, thanks to my passion and the experience I have gained in diving, I strive to meet the needs of the most demanding divers by offering my services in both ocean, cenotes and caves.

Today, I offer my students and clients the opportunity to discover Mexico through diving, as well as through various circuits and excursions that I organize in collaboration with other professionals in the tourism industry.

I personally guide and train divers who seek my assistance, sharing all my knowledge with them to help them achieve their goals.

Whether you are looking for enjoyable solo or family vacations, wish to explore the underwater world of Cozumel or cenotes, advance to advanced levels, or even become a diving professional, I will be by your side to advise, support, and guide you.
