Total Diving

National Geographic dive center & PADI Career Development Center (CDC) in Montreal, QC, Canada.

Do you really want to know who we are? The truth is... We're a bunch of free spirits who wanted an escape from the contraints of typical "9 to 5" occupations - a lifestyle that places a premium on adventure, exploration, friendship and personal challenges. We found the world of diving, have a passion for it and for helping others to enjoy that world as much as we do.

We started in 1975 when Bill Waddell founded Waddell Aquatics. We moved to our current location a couple of years later. We've been here, in the same location, for about 30 years, with our own indoor pool and multimedia classrooms on site.

In 2000, DAN Examiner and PADI Course Director Darcy Kieran took the helm and renamed the dive center Total Diving to represent more accurately what we do: If it has to do with scuba diving, we have it - whether it's a training course, a piece of gear or a dive destination.

Through the years, we've expanded our passion for the water world into snorkeling, swimming, underwater hockey and free diving. We also carry accessories for boating, kayaking and paddling.
