NEWS BEUCHAT 2014

Videos: Anthony LEYDET

A month ago, the Marseillaise BEUCHAT company presented its novelties to the specialized press. As much to tell you immediately that the years follow one another but are not alike! In fact, whereas in 2013 the swordfish brand presented us with… luggage, this year we were pleased to note that the research and development department is once again well on the way. And what a year, since in 2014, BEUCHAT will celebrate its 80th anniversary in underwater activities ... see the end of the article.

As usual, the seminar was led by Frédéric GERMAIN and Cyril TORRES. Fred speaks so well that it will be useless to want to do better, we are happy to let him speak. Good presentation 😉

80 YEARS OLD!!! A LITTLE BLOW OF YOUNG!

BEUCHAT: DIVE INTO THE HISTORY OF DIVING

We are in the 30 years, Georges Beuchat, a young underwater hunter inspired by a Polynesian fisherman passing through Marseille, begins to manufacture "fenes", simple improved lances. 20 years later, he tested the first diving clothes in the Marseille creeks. At his side, a young athletic man, Albert Falco: the story of the Beuchat house, it's a dive in the heart of the legend.
In 1934, Georges Beuchat has 24 years, and decided to create in Marseille the small business that begins by making simple "foen": small spears inspired by a Polynesian hunter of passage. This is the beginning of the adventure, which lasts since 77 years ... The creeks of Sormiou, Morgiou, become the playground of the young inventor, who from then on will never stop creating, testing, improving, often with the means on board, everything that can give substance to the underwater adventure. George Beuchat is a hunter, and that's where he begins.

Georges Beuchat & Albert Falco: the 1st garment / Beuchat Archives

In 1947, the classic boot becomes a real crossbow, the model "Tarzan" rifle from another time, as evidenced by the catches hanged on the belt of the Marseille fighter. And gradually, recreational diving is also needed, perhaps in contact with some members of this band of creeks in which the underwater legend will come to draw so many names. In 1952, Georges Beuchat presents Albert Falco to Commander Cousteau, who is then looking for divers to explore the wreck of the Grand Conglue. We know the rest of the story. At the same time, in 1948, he is co-founder of the Federation of Swim Fishing and Underwater Studies Societies (FSPNES), which will later become FFESSM.
