Miguel has been diving since 2007 and after 10 years of recreative diving he decided to become an instructor. He expresses his love for the ocean by working on conservation and he passes this on with love to his students, whom he teaches to take underwater waste with him during the dive. Miguel is also very involved with photo and videography, regularly assists with projects and participates in competitions.

He divides his time working as lawyer during the week and teaching scuba diving in the weekends. He believes his legal capabilities may be useful in the Portuguese Chapter of Ghost Diving.
