ABOUT US

I have always been passionate about the ocean and water sports, having had the chance to participate in swimming tournaments at some of the different schools I attended when I was younger. I practiced freediving whenever I had the chance, loving to be in the water as much as possible and dreaming about the possibility of breathing underwater, as probably any water kid would do.

My first experience with scuba diving was in the waters of Acapulco during the summer of 1992, when I was 12 years old, diving with my father. I immediately knew that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

Many years later, at the age of 22, in 2002, I completed my SSI Instructor training in the Sea of Cortez in La Paz, Baja California Sur, and began my journey and adventures with different dive companies throughout the area. I also worked as a private guide and instructor for different private yachts and sailboats.

Later, at the age of 29, I completed my crossover to PADI, one of the world's largest scuba diving training agencies, and earned my Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating. Ever since, PADI has been the agency through which I have certified most of my students and customers, always with happy faces and great lifetime experiences.

My curiosity about the underwater world has continued to grow over the years, and I became involved in another realm of scuba diving: Technical Diving and Cave Diving. I hold certifications from TDI as a Trimix Diver, Rebreather Diver, and Full Cave Diver.

The latter became one of the main reasons I moved from Baja to the Riviera Maya, after falling in love with the cenotes, caverns, and caves in the area. I have been diving in these environments since 2013.

Let me guide or instruct you in the beautiful waters we have throughout the Yucatan Peninsula, whether you are an avid water kid like me or simply want to enjoy an amazing land trip to the Mayan ruins and cenotes while having a great time with your family.
