NAME: Julien LEBLOND | LEVEL: JJ-CCR LEVEL 3 INSTRUCTOR, EMAIL: julien.leblond@tek-diving.fr | WEB:
Je m’appelle Julien LEBLOND, j’ai grandi sur l’île de la Réunion et j’ai commencé la plongée en 1990. Je suis passé au recycleur en 2009 auprès de Laurent Ballesta, photographe des expéditions Gombessa, alors que je terminais mon Master d’ingénierie en écologie marine chez Andromède Océanologie.
Moniteur professionnel depuis 2011, j’ai toujours cherché à concilier sciences, exploration et formation. Spécialisé en plongée profonde et manips scientifiques j’enseigne la plongeé tek et le recycleur depuis près de 10 ans chez IANTD, TDI, SSI.
J’ai participé en tant que plongeur professionnel/biologiste à de nombreuses missions, expéditions scientifiques et tournages en Méditerranée, dans l’Océan Indien et le Pacifique.
C’est en 2018 lors de l’expédition Under The Pole 3 (UTP3) en Polynésie française, dirigée par Ghislain Bardout et Emmanuelle Périé-Bardout, que j’ai décidé de faire mon cross over instructeur sur JJCCR. Co-directeur des opérations de plongée pendant le programme Deephope j’ai alors régulièrement réalisé, grâce à mon JJCCR, des manipulations scientifiques au-delà de 120m. J’ai notamment plongé jusqu’à 172m et récolté, avec mes partenaires, le corail bâtisseur de récif le plus profond jamais observé vivant.
C’est aussi avec ma machine que j’ai passé plusieurs jours par 20m de fond en plongée à saturation lors du programme Capsule d’UTP3.
Parallèlement à mon activité principale je suis investi dans une société innovante, TeKdiving, alliant recherche sur la décompression et formation technique. Elle regroupe des médecins, physiologistes, chercheurs, plongeurs, etc. dans le but de sécuriser les protocoles de décompression en y intégrant une composante physiologique personnalisée.
Installé récemment en Bretagne je me ferais un plaisir de partager ma passion et mes connaissances en plongée tek afin de faire découvrir et progresser à son rythme chacun de mes élèves. Les cours peuvent être dispensés en Français, Anglais et Espagnol.
My name is Julien LEBLOND, I grew up in Reunion Island and discovered diving in 1990. I took my first breath in a rebreather’s loop in 2009 with Laurent Ballesta, famous French photographer from the Gombessa expeditions, while I was finishing my master’s degree in ecological engineering and marine biology at Andromede Oceanology.
I became a diving instructor in 2011 and I have been sharing my passion for science, adventure and training ever since. Specialised in technical and deep diving, I have been teaching CCR and mixed gaz courses for IANTD, TDI, SSI over the last 10 years. Involved in numerous scientific missions, expeditions, and shootings I also became a commercial diver and I dipped my fins in seawater from the Mediterranean sea to the the Indian and the Pacific Ocean.
During Under the Pole 3 (UTP3) expedition, lead by Ghislain and Emmanuelle Périé-Bardout, I became a JJCCR instructor. Supervisor of the diving operations for the Deephope leg of the expedition I dove my unit many times deeper than 120m and even down to -172m where my buddies and I collected the deepest reef building living coral ever seen.
Accompanied by my JJCCR I also spent several days at 20m on saturation dives taking part of the Capsule program (UTP3).
Along with my professional activity I’m also involved in an innovative company named TEKDIVING. Composed of doctors, physiologists, reseachers, divers, etc. we focus on better understanding how decompression affects the organism and thus improving diving protocols’ safety from the physiological perspective.
Recently settled in French Brittany I will be more than happy to share my passion and tips to anyone seeking a course or a training session. I will be pleased to teach the courses at everyone’s own pace in French, English or Spanish.

Angefangen habe ich, wie viele andere Taucher auch, im Urlaub. Meine ersten Erfahrungen machte ich im Jahr 1995 . Damals, im Alter von 22 Jahren, entdeckte ich das Tauchen für mich. Im Jahr 2008 habe ich mich dazu entschlossen Tauchlehrer zu werden, um auch anderen Menschen die Unterwasserwelt näher bringen zu können. Dann im Jahr 2009 habe ich das Tauchsportzentrum Niederrhein eröffnet. Nach fünf Jahren harten Aufbaus des Centers habe ich zum ersten Mal die Unterwasserwelt auf einem Rebreather wahrgenommen und für mich ein ganz neues Tauchgefühl entdeckt. In meinen 25 Jahren Taucherfahrung habe ich über 2.250 Tauchgänge, und davon über 1.000 Stunden auf dem Rebreather, absolviert. Fast alle Tauchgänge, bis auf wenige Ausnahmen, werden mittlerweile auf dem Rebreather durchgeführt. Hauptberuflich mache ich das seit 2009 und ich liebe meine Arbeit! Das Tauchsportzentrum Niederrhein bietet euch die beste Logistik die man sich vorstellen kann. Center Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlocuYOUmas&t=104s

Eventually, I ventured into rebreather diving when I could no longer overlook the benefits of decompression optimization and having longer bottom times. I teach all levels of open-circuit technical diving and JJ-CCR up to Advanced Mixed Gas level through TDI.

Dave Gration has been diving since the age of 15, now some 30+ years later he has been to some of the most amazing diving locations in the world. He first started diving in the U.K and has taught for some of the largest dive centres in the U.K including running the training side of their business. After teaching in the U.K for a number of years he then started to travel and used his instructor qualifications to make this possible. In later years he settled down in The Canary Islands, where he owed his own dive centre for 10 years. This gave him the opportunity to further his own diving. Looking into new and more demanding types of diving, including the use of technical diving equipment and rebreathers, this allowed him to make more advanced wreck and cave dives, to greater depths. Now after selling his dive centre and moving back to England, he has been working throughout Europe as a freelance diving instructor trainer who is able to offer all types of technical diving education up to full trimix levels on both Open Circuit and Rebreathers, including CCR cave.

I’ve been diving since 1997 and began my teaching career in 1998. Since that time I’ve become Full Cave Certified, Tec Instructor through Trimix and now teaching on the JJ-CCR. Rebreather experience started in 2002 on a Drager Dolphin and then progressed to KISS, rEvo, Hollis Prism 2 and currently the JJCCR. The JJCCR is the only unit I now dive and teach on. The main reason Simplicity and Reliability. For more information on my offerings, experience and opportunities, please use the contact information above.
