Brady Huddleston is an experienced scuba educator and professional diver-wrangler who has trained everyone from wide-eyed first-time students to full-blown dive pros who now pretend they “always knew how to clear a mask.” As an SDI Course Director & Instructor Trainer and PADI IDC Staff Instructor, Brady has worked with just about every learning style on the planet— including the “I swear I’m not sinking, the bottom is just rising” type.

Brady first caught the diving bug early on, back when he was still trying to remember which way his wetsuit zipped and why fish kept giving him side-eye. Learning under instructors with wildly different teaching styles helped mold him into the calm, patient, safety-obsessed educator he is today (even when students surface upside-down or swear their fins are plotting against them).

Known for his relaxed teaching vibe, ocean-dad energy, and ability to explain skills without making anyone feel like a confused sea cucumber, Brady is dedicated to helping every diver succeed at their own pace. Whether he’s guiding new students, mentoring future instructors, or convincing someone that yes, you can breathe underwater, he’s always focused on building confident, capable divers—one perfectly executed mask-clear at a time.
