Antonio Hou is a Master’s student at UBC in the Animal Welfare Program at the Faculty of Land and Food Systems. On land, he spends most of his time helping animals in shelters find their forever homes and improving their welfare in kennel environments. In the ocean, Antonio enjoys guiding people at local dive sites around Metro Vancouver as a divemaster. Since he started cold-water diving in 2021, Antonio has spent over 200 hours beneath the surface, capturing unique moments underwater with his camera.
