Biography

PADI Divemaster and sports training specialist Karol Yela pursues her dreams every day. She says, “Life is an adventure, not an organized trip. Laugh, love and be happy, we will learn along the way.” Karol loves the freedom of diving, which she learned from her Dad and her brother-her two favorite divers. She uses her leadership and communication experience to share her passion, and dives with a purpose, contributing her talents to coral reef conservation. Karol shared this important message: “Everyone has their own motivations and objectives, everyone lives their own process, you don't need to compare yourself to anyone or do what everyone else does to obtain results.” She was a 2022 semifinalist in the Columbian reality competition television series, Desafio the Box, and currently lives and dives in Providencia Island, Colombia.
