THE NAVY DIVER is about anchoring your own style — bold, individual, and unapologetically confident. Inspired by our clearance diving mates in the Australian military, the brand embodies resilience, camaraderie and quiet confidence — the traits forged through discipline, loyalty and service. Since launching globally in 2010, THE NAVY DIVER has been creating cool, contemporary swimwear and underwear designed for real men and women who value comfort as much as style. With sizes ranging from S to XXL, the brand delivers the perfect balance of unique design and everyday wearability. Proudly Australian made and owned, and manufactured in Sydney for over 15 years.
Today, THE NAVY DIVER has grown into a global e-commerce leader, shipping to customers in over 30 countries worldwide. What began as a homegrown Australian label has evolved into an internationally recognised brand, bringing its signature mix of fun, fit and functionality to men around the globe.
At its worldwide launch, one of the faces of the brand was former Navy diver and shark attack survivor Paul De Gelder— a true Australian icon. In Feb 2009, Paul survived a near-fatal attack by a three-metre bull shark. Despite life-changing injuries, he defied the odds and went on to become an advocate for shark conservation, even addressing the United Nations in New York to raise awareness about protecting shark species. Conservationist, global ambassador, underwear model, and Aussie hero, Paul embodies the same courage and determination that inspires the brand’s DNA.
In 2011, THE NAVY DIVER expanded into swimwear — sleek, body-confident pieces designed to celebrate strength and silhouette. The campaign was shot in vibrant Miami, the ultimate backdrop for a collection that was striking and undeniably confident. With iconic cuts and fresh, clean shades, the range quickly established itself as a modern classic.
Beyond style, THE NAVY DIVER is driven by purpose. The brand proudly supports veteran suicide prevention initiatives by partnering with Swiss 8, an organisation dedicated to improving the mental, physical and social wellbeing of veterans. THE NAVY DIVER reinforces its commitment to supporting those who have served, helping build stronger communities and encouraging resilience beyond the uniform.
