Beuchat Canada for Freediving!


Paul Boissinot Joins the Beuchat Canada Team

Welcome aboard, Paul!

In a press release today, Beuchat Canada announced that Paul Boissinot joined the Beuchat Canada team as sales representative.

“It’s with great pleasure that I am joining the Beuchat Canada team. Diving since 1970 and in the industry since 1972, I had the chance to try most of the diving gear existing on the market. The main reason why I am joining Beuchat is simple, I know their products, have used them and represented them for many years. The superior quality of the Beuchat line makes it impossible to avoid” declared Paul Boissinot.

Beuchat was very visible in the Montreal St. Patrick Parade on Sunday as part of the float setup by our Beuchat dealer in Montreal, Total Diving - Montreal Scuba.

There was a huge crowd all along Ste. Catherine Street as Montrealers experienced a new record high of +23C! Congratulations to the Beuchat team in Montreal!


Beuchat Canada supports GEERG, a Canadian group with a mission to “study the Greenland shark and other northern shark species in their natural environment in an effort to promote shark awareness, conservation, and sustainable fishing practices.”

Jeffrey Gallant thanked Beuchat on the GEERG website and on their annual report. It wasn’t required, but… Thanks! And good luck in your projects, Jeffrey!

Beuchat Canada is proud to encourage, support and sponsor Nathalie Hebert in her freediving practises and competitions. But who is Nathalie?

Nathalie started freediving in the Summer of 2007. In 2008, she was already participating in provincial competitions and quickly moved on to national freediving competitions.

In 2010, she earned the title of national champion in Canada during the Montreal freediving competitions.

She was selected to be part of the Canadian team representing Canada at world freediving competitions in Kalamata, Greece, in 2010. She earned a 7th place worldwide in “single” and a gold medal in “team”.

2011 was also a good year for Nathalie Hebert. She broke the Quebec record for “dynamic no fins” with a 102 meters, while the previous record was 82 meters.

Last month, she was in France to train with world champion Umberto Pelizaari in one of the most amazing pools in the world for scuba diving and freediving.

On the picture below, we see Canadian champion Nathalie Hebert freediving, under ice, with a 5mm Beuchat wetsuit. It was at Morrison quarry, just North of Ottawa.

Nathalie Hebert is president of the CASM, the Montreal freediving club. She’s also a PADI scuba diving instructor at Beuchat’s Montreal dealer, Total Diving.

Congratulations for all your successes, Nathalie! And good luck in 2012!


Canadian scuba divers went snorkeling with the manatees, north of Orlando in Florida, after the annual scuba diving industry convention (the “DEMA Show”) last November.

The Beuchat wetsuits were popular! Paul Boissinot, from Quebec City, himself a former wetsuit designer and manufacturer, was impressed with the comfort and warmth of these Beuchat scuba diving and snorkeling wetsuits.
