Jose grew up near the water on the southern shores of Dominican Republic spending his childhood snorkeling and fishing in the Caribbean waters.  After a long time of wanting to go deeper, he became scuba certified in 2003 after which he counts the days to go back to his childhood playground off Bayahíbe.  He did his rescue certification with BWD, and went on to become a dive master.  For Jose any day in the water is a good day; whether it be sharing the first time breathing underwater with new divers, exploring wrecks with old buddies or just swimming around familiar reefs in crystal clear waters, he is always looking forward to the next moment underwater.
