After studying at the college "Suzanne Deustch" of Moÿ-de-l'Aisne, then "Josquin-Dès-Près" of Beaurevoir, Dive entered the school "Saint-Jean" in Saint-Quentin. After obtaining the baccalaureate, he entered the Prytanée National Militaire of La Flèche in 2003 to prepare the competition of ESM Saint-Cyr to become an officer in the army. Finally, he obtained a degree in economics at the University of Valenciennes and Hainaut-Cambresis and a master's degree in entrepreneurship and management of SMEs at the IAE Valenciennes in 2008.

Born into a family of itinerant traders in the Saint-Quentin market in fruit and vegetables and whose grandfather had worked for 50 years, Julien Dive was always attached to the defense of local businesses.

In 2015 French departmental elections, Dive was in pairs with Orane Gobert to become county councilor of the Canton of Ribemont. He came third in the first round of the election with 25.59% and decided to stay in the second round in a triangular against the binomial FN, who came first in the first round, and the pair PS. He finished third with 22.82%.[4]
