About Us
Cocos Dive is a family operated business – your host, Dieter Gerhard, extends a warm welcome to guests visiting Cocos (Keeling) Islands for diving and also to their non-diving partners and friends.
About Cocos Dive
Cocos Dive has been operating under the same management since January 1993. In January 2000 Dieter assumed the day-to-day running of Cocos Dive and now personally ensures the service and diving you receive is second to none. It is our aim to provide you with the type of diving you enjoy whether it be big fish, nudibranchs or marvelling over the wonderful corals gardens that surround this amazing atoll. After all, it is YOUR holiday!
Dieter’s love of diving shows through his knowledge of the various dive sites visited, the meticulous care of the environment and the behaviour of the many marine creatures who have made Cocos (Keeling) Islands their home.
Dieter learnt to dive on Cocos when he first moved to Cocos in 1990. Dieter soon realised the need to have an on-island diving instructor, so he commenced and completed his instructor rating with NASDS. Dieter now teaches under the SSI training agency as an Advanced Open Water Instructor
To see some wonderful photography that documents the undersea and earthscape life that abound the atoll, visit Karen’s gallery of Cocos and purchase a lovely range of images and products. The majority of the images on this site have been provided by Karen. If you would like to contact her directly, please email her to discuss, or purchase, her photography directly.
Even Dieter needs a holiday. Often during the months of October through to November, Cocos Dive may have unavailable times whilst he takes leave.
