Captain Paul Bradbury - Master Instructor

Born 7th November 1963 (yes, 37, never felt younger). Born: Caerffili, South Wales, United Kingdom. Language: Welsh, English, Spanish.

A Welshman, born and bred. My love for diving started in 1994 when I did my open water in a cold quarry in England. After many dives both home and abroad I found myself working to get enough money to go diving. On a 9 day holiday in the Dominican Republic in 1998 I made the decision to change my life and I never got back on the plane. I became a PADI Instructor that year and have never looked back. In January 2001 I came to Hawaii to visit my good friend and fellow instructor Chris Lolley. I was introduced to the team at Deep Ecology and saw the incredible work they do for the environment here. Motivated by conservation not profit I gladly accepted the chance of joining the team and am looking forward to the future with them. Now a Master instructor, IDC Staff Instructor, SDI/Medic first aid Instructor and Boat Captain as well as a specialty instructor in Nitrox, Deep, Wreck, Photography, Navigation, Naturalist, Night and Multilevel diving. We are set to train divers to PADI Assistant Instructor or SDI Instructor levels. I look forward to welcoming customers to our unique store. Dive safe.
