Meet the Ocean with Paul North; the Arctic & Antarctic – Poles Apart!

An undersea specialist for Lindblad Expeditions and the founder of Meet the Ocean, Paul North has been diving since his mid-20s when he headed to Honduras to swim with whale sharks. Two years later he had his first introduction to cold waters when his former dive instructor/mentor invited him on a dive in Norway. “Those Norwegian waters were screaming with life and a great way to learn about the ecosystem,” he recalls. He quickly realized there were unexpected and harder-earned biological treasures in the polar regions, and has been diving the higher latitudes of our planet ever since.
