The People Behind Your Dive

At Central Coast Divers, we're more than a dive shop — we're a family. Since 1986, we've been helping the Central Coast community explore the underwater world safely and confidently. Come in and say g'day!


Bob and Tina Diaz

Founders & Instructor TRAINER

Tina and Bob started with a  small shop and over the years have grown to become the mainstay of scuba diving on the NSW Central Coast. Tina handles sales enquiries, ordering and administration, scheduling and the team. Bob has been passionate about diving since he first took the plunge in 1969. What started as a love for the ocean grew into a lifelong mission to share that passion with the Central Coast community. As a Diamond Instructor Trainer with SSI, Bob has trained over ten thousand divers over four decades — and he's still in the water every chance he gets.

Tony Diaz

Co-Owner & Instructor TRAINER

Growing up surrounded by tanks, wetsuits, and the smell of saltwater, it was only natural that Tony would follow his parents into the deep. Tony brings fresh energy and modern training techniques to the team while honouring the values of quality and care that Central Coast Divers was built on. He's your go-to for gear advice, course bookings, and the best local dive sites.
