Born in the south of Chile, Pietro’s photos cover subject matter from Central America, Mexico, South America, Hawaii, Tahiti, and Polynesia, to name just a few locations. His dedicated training and ambition for diving has allowed him to journey into some of our planets most remote places.

Scuba diving since an early age of 9 in the Pacific waters off Chile, Pietro’s love of the ocean steered him into a career in scuba diving. Together with years of diver training and experience in camera operation Pietro has acquired a unique skill in combining these two fields of expertise.

Since 1998 Pietro has focused in cave diving and photography in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. During 2007 Pietro worked full time at ProTec Advanced Training Facility dedicated to the training and specialization of technical cave diving. These advanced and specialized levels of scuba diving includes cave, mixed gas and decompression diving which has made many of his otherwise impossible photographs possible.

Alongside his interest in capturing pictures and video, Pietro has a great passion for working in filming and documentary production projects. His interest in this field grew momentum in 1999 when he was fortunate in being on the set of the IMAX film Journey into Amazing Caves which was filmed here in Mexico and produced by MacGillivray Freeman Films.

Pietro has subsequently worked on various filming projects focused and involving cave diving and Mayan culture here in Mexico. His roles in many of these have been as a Safety Diver, underwater lighting advisor and grip.

Pietro completed his IANTD Full Cave Instructor course earlier this year. He is currently running a cenote dive concession and focusses his efforts towards instructing cave diving.
