Yeray Beruete
@yerayberuete
Biologist and PADI dive professional combining science and field conservation.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
I am a biologist with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Alicante and extensive field experience in marine conservation and dive instruction. I combine scientific training in marine protected areas, remote sensing and coral reef restoration with practical, hands-on diving roles across multiple countries.
As a PADI dive instructor and divemaster, I have worked on liveaboards and at dive centers in the Philippines, Thailand, Costa Rica, Jordan, Mexico and beyond, delivering training, leading teams, and contributing to underwater photo and video projects. I bring adaptability, creativity and strong teamwork to both diving and conservation projects.
Alongside my diving career I manage water sports operations and bring hospitality and sales experience from roles in Spain and internationally. I am passionate about ocean conservation and seek opportunities that allow me to apply scientific knowledge in field-based marine protection and restoration work.
