PADI Course Director / Shop Manager
Diving is one of my passions. For the past decade, I have dedicated my professional career to the dive industry as a PADI Professional. It has given me a great opportunity to meet new people and travel to some amazing places. Offering a one of a kind experience to explore the underwater realm gives me great pleasure. I hold the highest PADI Instructional rating and conduct the Instructional Development Programs. I am the Manager and Director of Training of the UBC Aqua Society. Our team works hard to make your experience safe and enjoyable. We look forward to diving with you soon!

Je suis un instructeur de spécialisation PADI, j’ai commencé à plonger en 2017 et depuis j’en suis complètement accro!!! J’ai gravis les échelons rapidement en plongeant à chaque weekend. Je suis maintenant en train de terminer mon cours de plongée Technique. Je suis le seul employé de la société aquatique utilisant double bouteille sur mon dos! Vous pouvez me voire à Whytecliff presque chaque semaine!!!
Hi, I’m Alex a PADI Specialty instructor. I started diving in 2017 and since then I just can’t stop, it’s an addiction!!! I went up the PADI ladder so fast by diving every weekend. I’m also the only staff who is strong enough to carry two tanks on my back ah ha, as all the other staff went for side-mount diving I started my tek course going with back mount doubles or a “twin set”. You can see me at Whytecliff nearly every week!!!
