Ocean guide. Photographer. Whale Rescue Activist.

Where are you from and how long have you lived in Mexico?

I’m from Spain, from a little island in the Mediterranean called Menorca — the ocean has always been part of my life.

I’ve been living in Mexico since 2016… time really flies!

What was your path to becoming an ocean guide/photographer?

I studied in Barcelona, and after graduating, I traveled through Southeast Asia. Somewhere along the way, I discovered scuba diving in Thailand — I ended up living there for two years, working as a dive guide and falling in love with underwater photography.

After that, I moved to Mexico. I spent two years in the Riviera Maya, and since 2018 I’ve been living in Los Cabos, working with marine mammals and big ocean wildlife.

What is your camera set up?

I shoot topside with a Canon R-series and a 100–400mm lens, which is tough enough to handle whatever mood the ocean is in that day.

For underwater video, I use a DJI Action 5. It’s super stable, and small enough to keep things simple if something comes up.

Any tips for shooting from a boat?

My essentials on the boat? My camera and a couple of extra batteries — always.

If I had to give one tip for getting a good shot from a boat, it would be: get to know the animal’s behavior.

With marine mammals especially, watching and learning their breathing patterns makes all the difference.

What’s your favorite marine animal and why?

Humpback whales are definitely my favorite.

Not just because I’ve spent so much time with them, but because the energy they bring and the joy I feel every time I see one — it’s like the very first time, every time!

How long have you been a part of the whale response network RABEN? what inspired you to join?

I’ve been part of the RABEN network since 2023, after doing both practical and theoretical training.

Seeing with my own eyes how human activities—like ghost nets and fishing lines—can hurt such gentle and intelligent animals as whales touched me deeply. Once you witness something like that, you can’t just look away. I felt I had to do something, even if it was just a small part.

With RABEN, I can help in different ways: reporting an entangled whale and keeping track of it until the rescue team arrives, taking photos to document its condition and the type of net, or even being on the maneuvering boat during a rescue. Each step feels meaningful.

For me, this work is about giving back to the ocean and its creatures. It’s about helping animals that can’t ask for help themselves and making sure we do our part to protect them. Even small actions can make a big difference.
