40 years as a full-time scuba diving professional in Montreal… That’s something!

PADI Master Instructor Joe Allan started his career with Bill Waddell at Waddell Aquatics in Montreal, 40 years ago. He is still here although the Montreal PADI dive center is now known as Total Diving and owned by Darcy Kieran.

That’s quite a career in the dive industry, isn’t it?

After all these years, Joe Allan is retiring and you are invited to a “meet & greet” on Saturday, March 24, at Total Diving - Montreal Scuba.

Aqualung Canada’s president, John Gardner, will be attending. Because of the long relationship between Aqualung and Joe Allan, the Eastern Canada rep for Aqualung will also be on location to answer your questions about Aqualung, Seaquest, Apeks, Technisub, Whites and the other product lines in the Aqualung family of scuba diving equipment. Expect a few surprises, too! ;)

But no panic! Joe will still be around, once in a while, to help us out and talk to you - about 2 days per week, at the moment.

The “meet & greet” is from Noon to 5pm at the Total Diving dive shop in NDG. Please confirm your attendance through the Montreal scuba diving group on Meetup.

Omar will be presenting an audio-visual montage of the last 40 years of Joe’s career in the dive industry in Montreal. Did you know he was a commercial diver?

Montreal Scuba Diving. Joe Allan. Waddell Aquatics. Total Diving. Aqualung. It’s a small world, full of friends and dive buddies!
