BSAC People behind the scenes of Britain's Secret Seas

BSAC has been in on the secret of Britain's seas for more than 55 years - with tens of thousands of our members regularly diving the UK every year.

BSAC members - presenter Paul Rose and researcher Sarah Conner - are two key people behind this fantastic new series. 

Paul Rose, BSAC member and  Britain's Secret Seas' expedition leader

Paul can still vividly remember his first ever UK dive at the age of 18. “It was off Chesil beach with Ilford Sub-Aqua Club and I can still recall that first moment underwater when I felt free…I was a diver. I don’t ever want to lose that feeling.”

Diving has been Paul’s life and his career. From being a BSAC club diver, he has gone on to forge a highly successful career in commercial diving, scientific research, expedition leading and documentary-making.
