Retired diver, triple world champion and Olympic medalist.

Behind the Olympic medals and world champion titles lies a lover of the great outdoors, who has more than one sport up his sleeve. Alexandre Despatie, former elite diver, traded the adrenaline of diving boards for that of trails, mountains, and skiing. Today, as a host and speaker, he inspires with his versatility and contagious energy.

From the depths of the water to the highest altitudes

In 2013, after 22 years of diving, Alexandre Despatie turned to his new passion: the great outdoors. It is his years as a professional athlete that allow him today to always aim higher. "I dream of the highest mountains in the world. Or the most beautiful hikes in the world. Or walking through the most beautiful landscapes in the world. I say walking because it's a bit slower and I can really absorb everything at every moment. "

An alliance that was meant to be

Thanks to our ambassador Marie-Pier Desharnais, Alexandre Despatie confirmed his love for Chlorophylle. Quickly, this meeting became obvious: an iconic athlete of Quebec pride and a local brand, created by (and for) the friendships that make us explore nature.
