Paul André's diving journey began decades ago on the northern coast of the St. Laurent River, where he was immersed in a rich natural environment. In these cold waters, with temperatures rarely rising above 2°C (35°F), drysuits became essential for exploration

Over the years, Paul André has extensively explored diverse types of drysuit materials, patterns, and zipper configurations, across assorted brands.

In the mid-1990s, Paul André joined Whites, where he became involved in the development team. During the early 2000s, he witnessed the unveiling of early Fusion prototypes. Since then, Paul André has been unwavering in his belief that the Fusion drysuit stands as the pinnacle of drysuit technology.

His firsthand experience and deep familiarity with drysuit evolution have solidified his preference for the Fusion model, a sentiment he confidently holds to this day.
