Alex Campbell

 

At the young age of 15, Alex began his diving journey when one of his teachers taught his year group how to dive in the Swan River. At 19, he moved to Canada for a year and stumbled onto a dive trip to Hornby island off the coast of Vancouver Island seeking the elusive six gilled shark. While the sharks eluded him, he still hit it off with a couple of instructor's on the trip and decided to take his diving to the next level - becoming an open water instructor in the icy waters of British Columbia, Canada.  For the last 12 years Alex has instructed his way around every dive site of Rottnest Island teaching hundreds of divers. He's recently qualified as a technical diver with hopes of one day becoming a CCR instructor.'
