Meet Alex 👋 – one of our incredible Corporate Trainers here at Dive Rescue International!

Alex has been a Public Safety Diver since 2009 with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office (FL). In 2018, he stepped into the role of Chief Diver/Equipment Specialist, leading dive operations and guiding his team with passion and expertise. By 2023, he joined DRI as a Corporate Trainer, bringing that same energy and dedication to helping departments nationwide build strong, capable dive teams.

⚡ Fun Facts About Alex:
🥣 His favorite pre-dive snack? Greek yogurt, blueberries, granola, and honey—fueling both body and focus before a mission.
💡 Best diving advice he’s ever received: “If you want to be a better diver, don’t ever stop learning and be as physically fit as possible.”

We’re grateful to have Alex on our training team, continuing to share his experience, knowledge, and passion for public safety diving with others. 💪🌊
