Luciana Maldonado

When Luciana Maldonado graduated with her social communications degree in Argentina, she wasn’t sure what her path would be, but she would soon find out. While working for an important sports TV network for 3 years  in Argentina. she looked for ways to heal herself through spiritual therapies she still practices today. Then Luciana discovered scuba diving in Indonesia. She says, “My life changed completely: In that moment I found all the answers I was looking for and I decided to leave my entire professional life that looked "perfect” and I dedicated myself fully to diving and pursuing my passion for the sea and marine life. I moved to Mexico and explored the amazing dives there, Cozumel and Cenotes. I did all my diving career there from Open Water to Instructor. Today I continue studying and learning about diving every day, moving around the world and discovering new places.” Luciana currently lives in Miami, Florida.
