Scott Carnahan

Scott bridge

Founder / Owner / Operator

founder, owner, and operator of m/v Storm and all of our Expeditions.  Scott has been a leader in SCUBA, Filming, Exploration, and Expeditions for over 25 years in Mexico.  He is an IANTD Scuba Instructor Trainer working world wide and written many training standards and materials for cave diving, advanced cave diving, rebreathers, and specialty diving.  In the Maritime world he has managed and operated Charter Vessels.  He holds a Commercial Masters Captains License with the US Coast Guard and is a Master Marine Surveyor.  Scott is hands down the most experienced  Documentary Film Logistics and Dive Safety Supervisor in Mexico.  Scott's knowledge of Baja California, its wildlife, its oceans, its communities, and the way to make it all work to get results is unsurpassed.

Olegario Leon Alvarez

Captain

is the captain of m/v Storm.  Originally from Baja California Sur he has been on the ocean for over the last 40 years, first on commercial fishing vessels before switching to tourism.  Olegario operates with great experience the Revillagigedos, Guadalupe, and the Sea of Cortez.  Everyone who has traveled has been aware of the hard work dedication he puts into our Custom Expeditions.  His is a difficult task as all our trips are different, we (luckily) dont operate Storm on a constant cookie cutter "standard" trip like the rest.  Come aboard and meet Olegario and see the difference his experience makes.

ERNESTO CONTRERAS
