What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities combining scuba diving instruction, international trip coordination, marine education, and conservation-focused work.

I've coordinated 13 two-week scuba diving and safari trips for international groups of 16 across Mozambique and South Africa, managing schedules, accommodation, restaurants, marine megafauna education, and unexpected changes.

As a scuba diving instructor with Diveshack, Aquatica, Diving Portlligat, and Diving Center Cadaqués, I've taught hundreds of Try Scuba participants alongside Open Water, specialty, and Divemaster courses. I've also guided dives in Malta, Gozo, Comino, and the Cap de Creus Marine Protected Area.

My work combines guest care with practical operations, including dive equipment, cylinder, regulator, BC, and boat maintenance, as well as coordinating schedules and a team of five instructors.

I'm building on a BSc in Marine Sciences and current MSc studies in Ecology, Environmental Management and Restoration. I've contributed to citizen-science projects including ANERIS and Observadores del Mar and collaborated with marine research institutions in Banyuls-sur-Mer, Monaco, and Barcelona.
