Hi, I’m Alex.

I’m the creator of Diving Squad, a scuba diving travel blog shaped by a five-year odyssey spent diving and drifting through Southeast Asia, Latin America, and parts of Europe.

In 2023, I landed in Panglao, Bohol — and loved it so much I ended up staying. I’ve been based here ever since, working as a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor, guiding dives and teaching courses, while continuing to build Diving Squad.

When I’m not in the water, I’m usually editing underwater photos and footage, planning the next trip, or cruising around Bohol — but never for long before the reefs pull me back.
