Adriana Manjarrez, a diver with more than 18 years of experience in Los Cabos, has become a prominent voice in the promotion of sustainable tourism and sea friendly.
Her passion for diving and marine conservation has led her to seek support to certify her work through the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), which will allow it to implement programs that promote responsible practices among tourists and the local community.

Her experience has led her to understand the importance of preserving marine ecosystems, especially in a place as biodiverse as the Sea of CortezKnown for its rich marine life and stunning underwater landscapes, the region faces significant challenges due to mass tourism and pollution.
En Baja California Sur It is home to a large number of marine mammals, including the vaquita, sea lion, gray dolphin and humpback whale, around 700 species of fish, 180 species of seabirds and hundreds of species of plants and corals; many at risk due to human impact and poor practices.
Adriana not only seeks to enjoy these natural wonders, but also to educate others about the need to protect them.
Its focus is on training "guardians of the sea", people who, in addition to enjoying diving, are committed to caring for and preserving the marine environment.
“All this has led me to see that there is a great need for education for divers and people who go into the sea. For people who swim and snorkel, it is very important to teach them how to take care of the sea, which gives us oxygen, life, fish. We must promote respect for sea life.” said to meganews.
