I was born on june, the 11th 1969 in Olesa de Montserrat (Barcelona).

I am diving since 1992, and my acreditations are:

- 3* diver FEDAS/CMAS
- Advanced Open Water PADI

I started on Underwater Photography on 1993, using a compact camera inside NIMAR house, that quickly (1994) was changed for a NIKONOS V.

I am Underwater Photography jutge by the FECDAS (Catalan Federation of Underwater Activities), and I took part several times in the Catalonian Underwater Photography Leage, concretely on the years 1996, 1997 and 1998.

On 2001 I took the decision to change to reflex camera into a housing. I keep my Nikonos V, and buy a Nikon F100, Subal housing and objectives Nikon 60mm. and 16mm. As a flash I follow using my Ikelite SS225.

Also in 2001 I came back to competition, taking part on the tree last competitions of Catalan Cup. Now, in 2002 I am participating in both competitions: Catalonian Championship and Catalan Cup.
