Isabelle Nelson
Administration Manager
Isabelle is a marine biologist who grew up surrounded by the ocean and found her love for diving at an early age thanks to her father. Over the years, she became a Dive Master, free diver, federally certified guide, and scientific diver, and currently leads fish community research within a project at the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur. She also spent several months training in the challenging waters of the Galápagos Islands, sharpening her skills in some of the most demanding marine environments.

In her role at Apex, Isabelle keeps the operation running smoothly, handling everything from guest communication to trip logistics. Her experience coordinating multiple music festivals has given her the adaptability and problem-solving skills she now brings to every ocean adventure.

When she’s not guiding guests or overseeing operations, Isabelle immerses herself in underwater photography, capturing moments that inspire curiosity, respect, and love for the marine world she calls home.

Alexander Schmidt
Founder
Based in Cabo San Lucas, Alexander Schmidt Márquez has found professional success—and encountered a radical shift in self—through his ocean safari and shark dive business in Baja California Sur. He explains, “I started Scuba Diving when I was 14 years old, capturing the underwater world with a disposable film camera to show my Dad, who was unable to Dive due to a broke eardrum. For years I worked in tourism as an Entertainment Manager, which allowed me to travel the globe. Through these experiences, the underwater world of free-diving with ocean creatures and their protection became my passion, and eventually, I knew I wanted to devote my life to creating this same bond for others.”

It takes bravery and perseverance to change one’s life in the pursuit of passion. Upon arriving in Cabo San Lucas four years ago, Alex began working in the hotel industry, only to leave after a couple months. After deciding to go all in on his dream of dedicating his life to the ocean, he started a rewarding journey of growth and learning. Today, he is an AIDA 4 Master Freediver (Assistant Instructor Freediver), Rescue Diver and a Federally certified eco-tourism guide for freediving and scuba diving by Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism. Alex tells us, “Our mission is to get people to fall in love with the ocean, so they can protect it. Connect & protect”
