About Us
driven by the ocean
Dive Tolo is run by Hugo, the owner and daily manager, whose passion for the ocean and exploration has shaped his life and career.
Originally French and raised in Greece, Hugo started diving at the age of 14. Since then, his journey has taken him around the world, working and diving in destinations including Greece, Iceland, Mexico, and Antarctica. In 2026, he marks his 10th year as a PADI Instructor.
Today, Hugo is proud to be the new owner of Dive Tolo, previously known as Intro Dive Tolo. While the name is new, his goal is to build on the strong foundation created here, while bringing his own experience, professionalism, and personal approach to the center.
For Hugo, diving is more than an activity — it’s a way to connect with the underwater world, challenge yourself, and share meaningful experiences with others.
He is excited to be part of the Tolo community and to welcome both locals and visitors from around the world. Whether it’s your first dive or your hundredth, Hugo looks forward to sharing his passion and helping you feel confident, safe, and inspired — both in and out of the water.

Owner & Head Instructor
Hugo bulbulyan
Hugo is the owner and daily manager of the dive center. He is French, but grew up in Greece, where he started diving at the age of 14. In 2026, he celebrates his 15th year as a PADI Instructor. While he enjoys recreational diving, Hugo’s true passion lies in the technical side of the sport - exploring deep environments, caves, and the kind of diving that requires focus, discipline, and respect for the water. His career has taken him around the world, from the warm caves of Mexico to the cold waters and extreme conditions of Iceland. Over the years, he has built experience in a wide range of environments and today, he also spends part of the winter working in Antarctica during their "summer" season, one of the most remote and challenging places a diver can operate. This global experience is reflected in his teaching style: structured, calm, and focused on helping every diver feel prepared, safe, and confident underwater. Greece is where his passion for diving began, and after many years of experience in the Mediterranean Sea, it was only natural for him to settle here and run his own dive center - sharing his passion and passing on his knowledge.
