SSI & PADI SCUBADIVING INSTRUCTOR
Raised on the Costa Brava, surrounded by sea and blue, as a child I was devoted and curious about the sea and its inhabitants. I started dreaming of scuba diving when I saw my uncle dive, and I tried to follow him at the top of my lungs until I lost sight of him in bubbles. 14 years ago I decided to follow my dream and try scuba diving. After years of training and working as a Dive Master, I obtained the title of instructor, turning my passion into a profession. 3 years ago, I left my engineering job to dedicate myself exclusively to my passion. Now I am dedicated to training divers and organizing diving expeditions around the world. Thanks to one of these expeditions, I met other lovers of the sea with whom we are embarking on the wonderful OceanoMads adventure to share the same emotions that we once felt, with other people.

Coincidences don't exist, perhaps that's why we meet a group of people in love with the sea on a small island in the Philippines. There we discovered that we shared the same idea of the future: diving, exploring new places and sharing our passion for the oceans. Thus, we started OceanOmads, to create a community of lovers and protectors of the oceans. Being a diving instructor allows me to help other people to love, care for and respect the sea. With each new certified diver, a responsible defender of the ocean is born, capable of generating a positive impact on people and their lifestyles.

Diving instructor and passionate about the sea for as long as I can remember. I started diving in Malapascua, Philippines and since then my life revolves around the sea. Every dive is a new adventure and I love sharing my passion and being amazed together at everything that is hidden by immersing you in this world. Once you live it, there's no going back. Join us to enjoy and take care of our oceans:)

I discovered the fascinating world of diving while studying Biology at university. I had no idea that a few kilometers from home, in my beloved Mediterranean Sea, I would find corals, seahorses, fish of so many colors, stripes... From the first dive, I fell madly in love and soon after I decided to start training to make it my profession. For the past three years, I have had the privilege of traveling and sharing the wonders of the underwater world. From Costa Rica to the Philippines, through Galapagos, Mexico, Thailand, Maldives... and of course, the Mediterranean, where it all began. For me, diving represents maximum freedom, the closest thing to flying, the state of deepest meditation and the place where problems never reach. Allow yourself to discover it and I promise you won't regret it!

I discovered scuba diving when I was backpacking in Thailand and I was immediately struck by it. However, my true love for this sport didn't grow until I arrived in Malapascua to see the fox sharks. I loved the place and the people so much that I decided to do my divemaster there and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Not only does scuba diving allow me to meet like-minded people and see some of the most fascinating creatures in the world, but it also gives me incredible peace. Being underwater and hearing nothing but your breath makes it so easy to relax and live in the moment. I hope you'll join us on this incredible journey to discover the magic of the underwater world.
