I am originally from Salamanca, a historic city in western Spain known for its beautiful golden-stone architecture and one of the oldest universities in Europe. Growing up near Salamanca inspired my love for nature, travel, and adventure. I started diving in July 2022 in my hometown and quickly became passionate about exploring the underwater world. Driven by a desire to challenge myself and continuously learn, I moved to Thailand in January 2023, where I became a diving instructor and gained experience working with divers from around the world. In 2024, I moved to Australia and worked in both the diving and whale-watching industries, building even more experience on and around the ocean. In 2025, I moved to Iceland to take on a completely different challenge: cold-water diving. I am motivated by challenges and enjoy stepping outside my comfort zone, which is one of the reasons I love diving in Iceland. My favorite dive sites are Farikede in the Maldives, famous for its incredible pelagic marine life and powerful currents, and Silfra, where the crystal-clear water and unique geology create an unforgettable experience. Whether underwater or on land, I am always looking for new adventures and opportunities to connect with nature.
