 Martin Woodward in 1978
Martin Woodward has had a long career in the commercial diving and marine services business since the late 1960s, and during this time he has worked extensively on different projects worldwide. Martin started professional diving in 1968, and is still actively diving in the UK and other locations worldwide.
He was also involved with the RNLI for a total of 38 years, only retiring as Coxswain of the Bembridge, Isle of Wight, lifeboat on reaching the age limit. He was awarded the MBE in the 2004 Honours List for long service to the RNLI. He also wrote a book on the history of Bembridge Lifeboat and many of the notable rescues, which is on sale through the RNLI. 100% of book proceeds go to the RNLI funds. Martin’s diving career includes 'deep saturation' diving in the North Sea, oilfields in the Persian Gulf and many other locations worldwide. It has covered all aspects of commercial diving, including multiple shipwreck and salvage operations and project management. He operates a diving vessel based in the Isle of Wight, (and until recently another vessel in the Far East), involved mainly in historic shipwreck projects and underwater archaeology. |
