Hi all, I am new to the group and introducing myself for future adventures and new UW buddies. I am originally from Mexico City but moved to the amazing city of Playa del Carmen in the Mexican Caribbean in 2008. That same year I finished with the rescue and divemaster levels and I have been a dive instructor since 2009 and diving has been all my life since then.
I worked for a while in this area (Cancún, Cozumel and Playa) then did a couple of seasons in cruise Ships. Later on I worked almost 2 years in Egypt and since then I go to Egypt 4 months a year to work on a liveaboard company.
I spend my time in Mexico diving in the caves. I run an independent dive operation facility with only private and personalized tours focusing mainly in overhead environment diving, could be either cavern tours, guided cave dives for full cave divers or giving courses for overhead environment diving.
As almost 90% of my diving life I have been an instructor, I always dive with someone, but as many of you should know, guiding and teaching is almost as diving solo.
I am totally adicted to cave diving but certainly i never manage to decide which do i like the most: ocean diving or cave diving. I just think it is completely different world in each and they can´t really be compared. Both kind of diving bring me absolutely different feelings and mind states so I can´t say I prefer one on top of the other. The ONE thing I am sure i prefer on top of everything is that I LOVE warm water diving. I am a very coldish person so anything below 24 °C is a no go for me
I do not have the chance to travel very much, due to time and resources restrictions, but I am lucky I live and work in two different places where diving is available and handy, warm, lovely and fun!
I think from 2021 I will be able to plan one trip a year to do some fun diving so I hope I can meet some of you around.
