Ahoy! I’m Alex — a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor and the creator of Diving Squad. I started this blog back in early 2019, during a five-year odyssey spent drifting through Southeast Asia, Central America and beyond. In 2023, I landed in Panglao, Philippines — and liked it so much I never really left. I’ve been based here ever since, diving, teaching and continuing to build Diving Squad. When I’m not underwater, I’m usually editing dive footage, plotting the next questionable adventure or cruising around on my bike — but never for long before the reefs pull me back.
