About Me

Hi, I'm Paul Fulbrook. I have been SCUBA diving all of my adult life.

I have had a deep love of the ocean since my Dad took me snorkelling on a family holiday when I was young; it has held my gaze ever since.

I learned to scuba dive in my teens and immediately knew, I had found my happy place.

Since then, I studied Marine Biology at University and went on to work on coral reef conservation research projects in Indonesia and Honduras.

I am an ex-high school Science teacher in the UK but now I write and run this website full time. I also plan to go back to university and do my PhD at some point, although I dream of owning a yacht and sailing the world, writing about diving, marine biology and marine conservation.
