Paul Budd

PADI Assistant Instructor

Paul started diving in the same way as many people; a try dive on holiday back in 2009. From then on he was hooked and has continued to dive as often as he can, combining this with his enthusiasm for photographing the underwater realm.

In 2017, Paul decided to join the professional ranks of PADI, and became a Divemaster in 2018 and most recently, an Assistant Instructor!

Paul has dived all along the south coast of England and as far North as Northumberland (to experience the mesmerising play of grey seals) and continues to enjoy UK diving greatly, exploring the many wrecks scattered along the UK coastline.  His dive travels have taken him to the Maldives, Mauritius, Mexico (Caribbean), Cozumel, Aruba, St Lucia, Bahamas, Jamaica & Egypt. Perhaps his most memorable dive adventure was travelling to and diving in the Galapagos archipelago to witness the spectacle of schooling Hammerhead & Galapagos sharks and experience the sheer thrill of seeing marine iguanas diving from the surface to feed on the marine grasses below.
