Team Blackfin

I've had many experiences in the water, from a very young age, and in the waves. As my environment and my skills developed, apnea took over my personal existence as a hobby, and as a professional because of teaching and competitions, and as an artistic one, since photography, videography, acting and even depth are forms of expression for me more than a business.

My first memory in the water is playing at jumping from the bottom of the pool to the surface, for hours to take breaths from time to time, and chasing crabs underwater between the stones to feed them to a moray eel.

​

I've formally developed in spearfishing, in Baja California, noticed a facility in my physique that others did not have, and by experiencing the certification and training structure, this potential was released and used correctly, for many years I grew gradually until between 2018 and 2021 I found an interesting exponential, which since my first competition in 2014, I felt coming.

I remember specific moments in different parts of my development when being underwater, I felt I belonged, a force that did not hold me down, but rather gave me peace of mind to voluntarily stay under, knowing that there was nothing that could hold me more than my own will by decision.

​

For many years I shared experiences as an equal with several people who marked my life, sometimes in a brotherly way, and sometimes in a romantic way. But it wasn't until recently that I found the sport in a fatherly way.

Having decided at the age of 21 to permanently rid myself of the possibility of childbearing, by having a vasectomy. My life changed radically. My decisions were seen as free and fickle, and although my path took time to define itself, it was always clear to me that my family would be chosen and not necessarily begotten. As my path began to be accompanied by people who found me desirable, inspiring, or admirable.

​

And I, being a very different person, and particularly impatient, always living at a thousand revolutions per minute, I met people who, despite me having a complicated temperament, and a character that always learns to handle themselves better, was a huge challenge for me to share the space and time. The magic of seeing people around me grow more or less quickly has been taking place, which in turn inspires new people to develop in ways that we have been able to experience.

Having a group that chooses each other in a professional, personal, or artistic way. Developing a name and a capacity encompassed in what is now a freediving school and more than anything in life in which everyone can feel protected, accompanied, and inspired to be better every day.

​

To understand that there are good days and bad days, but everyone can enjoy and improve.

Beginning with my first curriculum course in college, and progressing through SSI certifications at East Coast Divers with Nick Fazah, my development as an instructor and athlete has been limitless. Achieving first national and then continental records, I have managed to rank among the first 5 in the world in depth with bifins. I have managed to position myself as an example to follow in underwater photography and videography, and more importantly as a source of inspiration and action for thousands of people who, directly or indirectly, change their lives for the better, whenever they come to our sport.
