PATRICIA PLA

 

She was born in a small village in Valencia surrounded by mountains where her passion and admiration for nature grew from a very young age.
In 2016 she started diving, discovering a new world for her, which she fell in love with from her first dive.
In 2019 she decided to turn her life around and leave behind 11 years dedicated to hairdressing to gradually climb to become a PADI diving instructor.
That same year and with Buceo la Restinga she did the Advance course. The following year she returned to continue her training to become a Divemaster.
Today, thanks to her passion and dedication, she has become a great PADI diving instructor and Port Patron.

"I consider myself a restless ass so if I'm not in the mountains you'll find me underwater. What I like most about my job is to transmit and show how lucky we are to breathe in two different worlds.
I can say that Buceo La Restinga has seen me grow from my beginnings until today, I am happy to be surrounded by a team of very experienced colleagues who help me to keep learning day after day".

ANDREA DEI ROSSI

Born in Venice, Italy.PADI diving instructor and Port Captain.
He appeared out of nowhere on the island over four years ago. Part of his training as a Divemaster and diving instructor was completed with us, conducting hundreds of dives on the island during his first two seasons and eventually becoming one of the guides who excels at finding certain fish; he knows exactly where to look.

At the same time, he dedicated himself to obtaining his professional certification as a port captain, which he lacked despite being a true Venetian raised on a boat.

Currently, he is focusing much of his energy on underwater photography, pleasantly surprising us with incredible images and shots. He is the one who conducts most of the night dives, revealing all those little creatures that the rest of us often overlook unless they are pointed out.

Due to his extensive experience with boats, he is in charge of maintaining all of the center's vessels.
