Nicolas
Vera is a naturalist and marine reserve dive guide in the Galapagos Islands. With
over 15 years of experience in the islands, Nicolas is a very sought after professional
by local tour operations and private mega yachts. As part of his diving career
and personal interest in underwater videography, earlier this month Nicolas
decided to become certified in the use of the Evolution Rebreather.
Nicolas’s
Evolution Air Diluent Course was taught by Jorge A. Mahauad of Galapagos
Rebreathers through the Galapagos Tip Top Dive and Training Facility between January
29 and February 5, 2013.
Throughout his course, Nicolas demonstrated good overall proficiency in the management of
the unit, an in depth understanding of the dive theory behind rebreather diving
and a very good attitude and mindset as a new CCR diver.
“I have
already got job placements due to the rebreather certification but my major
motivation to do this is the video side” he says.
We look forward to working
with Nicolas in the future as he is the first naturalist and marine reserve
guide who have been certified in the use of closed circuit rebreathers in the
Galapagos Islands.
