Born and raised in Mexico City I grow up surrounded by concrete, asphalt and not that much water. The idea to SCUBA dive was as foreign to my brain as time traveling! But while attending college trying to become a Biologist, I had the opportunity to discover the Underwater World and the wide range of possible adventures waiting for me. That was back in the 80’s and since then I have not stopped diving.
Currently I am a Master SCUBA Dive Trainer 10600 logged dives and more than 1,600 certified students on all different levels.
I enjoy leading dives for certified divers but find special satisfaction on teaching people how to dive. My students seem to appreciate the tempo and style of my teaching and the fact that I can be extremely patient. Helping certified divers to polish their diving skills and introducing them to new techniques is always a lot of fun as well.
I believe that we take people not for a tour but into an adventure and life experience, every dive is different, every dive comes with the possibility to see something amazing …and come back to the surface and realize that you will be talking about your dives for long, long time.Those are the moments I like to share with my divers.
I believe that the ocean belongs to all of us and it’s our duty to preserve and respect it, to teach the new generations to love it, and hopefully, do a better job than us saving it.
Besides diving I enjoy traveling, dancing, challenge my mind, meeting different people, and whenever possible, expanding my understanding of human nature. My mother language is Spanish but I handle myself well in English and a bit of Portuguese.
