BIO

 IMPROVISE... ADAPT... OVERCOME...
 

These three words—a mantra Paul learned as a young paratrooper in the Australian Army—have guided him through the many chapters of his extraordinary life. From a wild teenage ride and a whirlwind lifestyle in the music industry to climbing the ranks in the elite Australian Defence Forces, first as an Army paratrooper and later as a Navy bomb disposal diver, Paul de Gelder has always chased adventure.


In February 2009, Paul's life took a dramatic turn. During a routine Navy dive, a 10-foot bull shark attacked him, severing his hand and leg. But instead of succumbing to despair, Paul summoned his indomitable spirit. He conducted his own rehabilitation, defying the odds and pushing through excruciating pain. With a fierce will to succeed, Paul amazed medical staff and the public alike by returning to full-time Navy service just six months after the attack.


His journey from trauma to triumph is nothing short of extraordinary. Paul’s resilience and determination are vividly chronicled in his autobiography, Uncaged, where he redefines the meaning of "Never Say Die."


Since the shark attack, Paul's life has transformed in every way. After serving as a Navy diver instructor for three years post-recovery, he left full-time service in August 2012. Today, Paul travels the world as a top motivational speaker, passionate environmentalist, adventurer, and mentor to schoolchildren. His story continues to inspire audiences across the globe.
