Alex
Ahoy! I’m Alex — a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor and the creator of Diving Squad. I departed my native UK lands to start this blog back in 2018, commencing a five-year odyssey spent diving and working across Southeast Asia, South and Central America, Ireland, the Red Sea, the Maldives and then back to Southeast Asia. In 2023, I landed in Panglao of the Philippines — and loved it so much that I made it my homebase! Since then, I’ve continued exploring the underwater world, teaching scuba diving courses and building Diving Squad. Otherwise, you can find me traveling, badly attempting to make music or staring up at the stars on an empty beach at 3am.
