The History Of Our Store
Bob and Tina founded a dive shop on the NSW Central Coast with the aim of providing diving opportunities to the community and addressing an unmet market need.
Being a member of a local dive club for many years, fulfilling many roles in the club as Safety officer, vice President, Editor and Boat maintenance crew, along with boat driver and Dive convenor, meant they already had a feel, for what divers desired and knew they had to take a stand and give divers what they really wanted!
In September of 1987, Tina and Bob established their own dive centre called "Central Coast Divers" in Long Jetty. Although it was a while back, they still have very distinct recollections of that time. Bob reminisces, "I can still recall our initial sale!"
During their early infancy, Tina and Bob managed to operate a small storefront that was no bigger than 4m x 12m. Despite its limited space, they were able to accommodate a Lecture Room, Showroom, and Workshop, as well as a small office area. Their ability to manage such a small space was impressive, and both Tina and Bob took great pride in their store.
Despite facing various challenges, they successfully balanced their business and family life while raising their two young sons, Tony (1-year-old) and Ben (almost 3 years old). Their routine involved diving, providing lectures, filling tanks, and maintaining dive equipment. Additionally, they planned and arranged dive trips to different coastal locations every four weeks.

The Pro Dive Connection
Tina and Bob's expertise in their business prompted them to explore the possibility of expanding. When Pro Dive International suggested a franchise opportunity, they quickly recognised the benefits of having support for their growth and agreed to move forward.
In July 1990, they established Pro Dive Central Coast, which became affiliated with a well-established organisation that has been running since 1969. Initially, the primary objective was to offer top-notch diving training and guarantee customer contentment, with the belief that financial gains would ensue.
Nonetheless, convincing the residents of the Central Coast to participate in leisure diving proved challenging despite the region's renown as one of Australia's finest diving destinations, courtesy of its scenic allure and diversity. Rather than resorting to aggressive sales tactics or overwhelming people with advertisements, they opted to take a more direct approach by offering diving experiences.
This simple strategy enabled them to build trust and earn the loyalty of the local diving community, leading to not only financial prosperity, but also ethical business practices and lasting friendships.
2025 sees Bob and Tina step back from the business and a new venture opens up with the relaunch of Central Coast Divers. As a result, the business motto of "Let's Go Diving!" remains stronger than ever- ready to leap into a new and exciting era.
