Olivier’s background is like the marine creatures, feeding themselves each other to create a “professional chain”
Olivier discovers
scuba diving in Maldives in 1996 with a DSD and
renewed the experience several times
In Koh Tao, in 1998, he followed the Open Water
& Advanced Courses and spent a few months
diving in Philippines
In 2000 he bought his first underwater housing to
fit into his Sony camera and started to shoot his
first underwater’s footages. He used his free time
to explore the dive spots of Philippines,
Indonesia, Thailand, Maldives and Madagascar.
In a meantime, after a carrier in the music
industry, radio broadcast and events, he worked for
2 years as manager of the audiovisual media for the
web site of a branch of CANAL + TV channel. He
gained experience in computer science, practiced a
lot of software. The editing became his second
passion.
In January 2001 he went to the Honduras for two
months to follow a Divemaster professional
training.
At the breaking up of Vivendi Universal he took his
chance, gave up the audiovisual industry, and
invested into the gear of underwater videographer.
In 2002 he followed a training with a videographer
of national Geographic during the full summer
season. He just realised that he ‘s found his way!
He sold the last current productions and started to
work as Divemaster & professional videographer
in many places around the world (Similan islands,
Red Sea…). He dived and guided a lot, and produced
many DVD souvenir.
Since 5 years he’s sharing his time between his
different activities in the dive industry,
sometimes Tourleader on liveaboard, sometimes dive
guide passionated by marine biology and of course
as underwater Videographer and photographer.
He shooted a lot of uw footages for himself and
started to work on a personal project of underwater
documentary, actually in progress.
2006 was a productive year as Olivier passed his Open Water Instructor examination with success and became quickly Master Scuba Diver Trainer, teaching specialities linking to underwater picture or video as Underwater Photographer and Videographer Instructor.
He's also registered his company named Submerge. He provides underwater courses, imaging specialities courses and audiovisual production.
His goal is to teach this underwater specialities as well as the linking computer science, providing funny and passionated courses based on immediate experience in diving and mastering software. This allows every one to highlight the fix or moving images taken.
Olivier's 2008 step is to manage audiovisual workshop on liveaboard for underwater's videos and photos lovers.
