Who is  Jorge Mario

Jorge Mario was born in Cuba, where he developed a passion for spearfishing from an early age. He started competing when he was very young and, by the age of 24, had won five Cuban National Spearfishing Championships in just six years.

At the age of 37, after the Cuban government suspended competitive spearfishing, Jorge decided to focus on freediving. Thanks to his experience as one of the deepest spearfishermen in Cuba and in the world, regularly diving between 30 and 40 meters (98–131 feet), he went on to set nine Absolute Freediving World Records.

Today, Jorge is a certified Scuba Diving and Freediving Instructor. In Miami, he founded Miami Blue Diving, where he offers private spearfishing charters and freediving courses for people of all experience levels.

In 2015, he was honored by Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado in recognition of his athletic career and his contribution to marine conservation and environmental protection.
