WHO WE ARE
EXPERIENCE + EXPERTISE
Deep Dive came together in a similar way to a lot of cliché jokes… A Pool Dealer, An Ad Firm Owner, and a Software Engineer walk into a bar (it was actually Jude’s office)... But seriously folks, we provide something that your average Ad Firm or Web design company simply can’t; Splashdown, a swimming pool dealer specific interactive website platform and the full stable of services to go along with it. Ours is a white glove approach...only top-flight solutions are built around here.

Our founders bring a bull pen of talent that can’t be beat in the industry. Jude Hebert brings not only over 25 years of experience as a nationally recognized pool dealer and builder, but a lifetime of knowledge from the fiberglass manufacturing and wholesale industry as well. Jude has owned Acadiana Pools for most of his adult life, and his family operated pioneering pool shell manufacturing giant, Royal Pools, since his childhood. It’s safe to say, the guy knows how to sell a pool or two. Blake Berard comes to us with over 15 years of experience in advertising and web development. He’s owned Red Room Advertising for over 12 years, serving Acadiana Pools and several other pool clients over the years. Red Room Ads has handled web solutions and promotions for a host of other industries as well; over 400 clients - including many accounts for multi-national billion dollar businesses. Ike Melancon is our own personal Swiss Army Knife of technology. This guy works on some of the most sophisticated cloud software on earth catering to the energy industry, and provides us with a cutting edge level of tech and automation for our website platform and marketing tools.
