About Alex
Originally from Leeds in northern England. Alex is a tech divemaster and rebreather diver with a strong understanding of CCR diving and decompression theory. He’s passionate about the technical side of diving and always happy to chat about gear, gases, or how to make the most of your bottom time. He’s great at mixing this mindset and approach into our recreational dive setting.
Alex is also involved in Big Blue’s conservation efforts and takes pride in helping protect the marine environments he loves exploring.

Diving with Alex
Practical , knowledgeable, and safety-focused, Alex brings a calm and confident presence to every dive. Whether he’s assisting on tech courses, guiding fun dives, or supporting rebreather divers, you’ll find him approachable, helpful, and always keen to share. He’s especially passionate about marine life—just ask him about boxfish! (He’s a bit obsessed.) With Alex, you’re in good hands for a dive that’s safe, fun, and full of fish facts.
