History

That’s how Aloha Escuela Náutica was born. Inspired by the beauty of our ocean and the amusement of aquatic adventures, we set the goal of creating a space where everyone could learn, explore, and enjoy the sea safely and amusingly.

With dedication and hard work, we built a school together by our passion for the water and the spirit of "Aloha," which means love, respect, and friendship in Hawaiian.

Today, we continue to grow and share our passion with everyone that joins us on this exciting journey.

Hello, I'm Elizabeth. Welcome to my story, where accounting, political science, a passion for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and teaching blend into a culmination of efforts and passion that drive my pursuit of excellence in this beautiful place I call home: Coveñas. Highlights of my journey include being the runner-up in the XXII National Sports Games 2023 in SUP Race - Women’s category, and an elite athlete. In poetry and the songs of Ventino and Juliana Velázquez, I find the deepest connection to personal growth and the desire to contribute to others.

Hello, I’m Adriana. I love sharing my passion for the beach and the sea despite my initial shyness. Communicating with others was not always easy for me, but through ocean activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and exploring underwater life through diving, I’ve gradually overcome those barriers. Now, I enjoy learning about coastal marine ecosystems and their fragility. SUP has provided me with an activity that benefits both my mental and physical health. I began as an amateur competitor in Santa Marta in 2017. While I enjoyed the competitions, what truly captivated me was the sense of community among fellow sea lovers. During the pandemic, unable to paddle outdoors, I embraced the challenge of maintaining physical activity at home. When the National Sea and Beach Games arrived in the Gulf of Morrosquillo—my home for the past 10 years—I proudly represented Sucre, earning a silver medal in the women's race category and a bronze in the relay race. Today, I am a certified flatwater instructor, ready to share this amazing journey with others.

Hi, I'm Oscar—"The Sea is in my DNA." I want to share a bit of the story behind this character. I’m a Biologist, Diver, and lifelong Athlete, proudly from Cozumel. For 30 years, I’ve had a direct connection with the Sea 🌊. At 3 years old, I learned to splash around, throwing saltwater everywhere. By 4, I was already diving beneath the waves. At 5, I learned to swim (I remember swimming with a piece of shipwrecked wood 🪵 tied to my waist—that was my life jacket 🛟). By 7, I started competing in small swimming competitions with the military team. From 12 years onward, I was reborn through sports, searching for physical activities that would connect me more consciously as a human being. That’s where I discovered different practices: Running 🏃‍♂️, which brings me strong connections to tranquility and moments of pure happiness; Swimming 🏊 in freestyle and relay modes, which connects me to endurance and resilience; and CrossFit 🏋🏽🤸🏽‍♂️🏊🏽‍♂️🏃🏽, which I’ve been practicing for 9 years. I love it because it combines various physical sports modalities but also requires deep mental strength. In 2014, at 20 years old, I became PADI certified as a Diver (Open Water Diver). Exploring marine life placed me in the real chain of existence I belong to as a human on Earth 🌎 (it literally changed my life). At 22, I had my first experience standing on a paddleboard in the Sea, and I felt an immediate connection. By 2020, I graduated as a BIOLOGIST 👨‍🔬, and my bond with Stand Up Paddle (SUP) grew even stronger because it’s a physical activity that doesn’t pollute marine life. During SUP tours with Aloha 🤙🏽, you’ll always experience a blend of physical activity and the exploration of the diverse coastal marine ecosystems in our territory. My experience as a Biologist and Conservationist Diver, monitoring the health of coral reefs 🪸🐠 and other marine ecosystems, allows me to offer you an experience that’s physical, mental, and educational. I’m a Conscious Aloha Lover, deeply connected to my environment 💚.
