TEAM

Like almost all the divers, I have a former life, a former profession. But one day I really discover a new love, a new passion… Diving, that made me re-think my way of living.

So I started living my dream, working on my passion.

After several years dedicating myself to the diving industry, I decided to move to Mexico, and that’s when my passion was reinforced. When exactly? The moment I put my head under the water in a Cenote. Then I knew it, this is where I belong, the caves, the underground rivers.

And this is what I try to transmit, as much as I can, in my work and in my teaching, this love and this spirit.

Also it is an unlimited world. You always have something new to learn, a new discovery to make, a new hole in the ground to explore. That keeps you mentally active always trying to get the best from yourself.

A Spaniard with an Environmental Sciences degree, who went to Mexico for a week, felt in love with the cenotes and decided to stay.

Since I was a child my family taught me the love for Nature and open spaces. I’m lucky to have a very intrepid family who shared with me a lot of adventures. Since I have memory I have been hiking, climbing, snorkeling, doing speleology, skiing, camping, traveling, traveling and traveling. And then, one day in one of those trips, I went to Australia and discovered scuba diving. Everything changed that day.

In 2009 I got certified as an Open Water diver. Soon after that I came to Mexico with a friend, where I went diving, surprisingly for me, in a cenote, a flooded cavern. The only word that came to my mind during the whole dive was: MAGIC.

That experience put my life upside down and in October 2009 I decided to move to Mexico.  After a year of training and gaining experience in the area I started working as an Open Water instructor and cavern and cave guide.

Nowadays, with almost 4000 dives, most of them in an overhead environment, I’m still amazed when I think I’m getting paid for DIVING!

Guiding in cenotes in the Riviera Maya since 2010. The best of Mexico is underwater and I would love to show it to you.
