Our Story
1983
OSA was Established
Outdoor Survival Australia was established by co-founder Ian Head and two friends who saw a need in supplying quality equipment and gear to the Diving & Outdoor industries. Originally, they started with the dive brand “TECNA Torches” and later diversified, in both markets, with top end brands and brand leaders.
