Nicolas grew up in Gran Canaria one of the 7 islands of the Spanish archipelago. And been surrounded by water most of his youth it didn’t come as a surprise that he started diving at a very young age. As a newly certified junior open water he would spend his weekends of school diving the Atlantic.

After finish his last two years on a high school exchange program in Florida and Canada he went on a GAP year where he among others completed his Divemaster internship. He then studied marketing and public relations in Barcelona at European University.

Ever Since he became a instructor he has worked all over the world from Thailand to Mexico he has dove all around the world.  Working as base leader and manager for big dive resorts as well as family owned dive centers. He now works as a Course Director and teaches IDC in German , English and Spanish.

I am happy to teach others how to teach diving , GoPro or Go Home
