Professional Surfer · Spearfisherman · Fisherman · Founder & Owner of Sayulita Surf Center · PELAGIC Pro Team
Born and raised in Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico, Diego Cadena has spent his entire life connected to the ocean. Growing up in a family of fishermen and surfers, he began fishing at the age of seven and surfing at nine, developing a lifelong passion for the sea.
With over two decades of experience as a professional surfer, Diego became one of Mexico’s most recognized competitive surfers. A multiple-time Mexican National Surf Champion, he reached the No. 2 ranking on the Latin American surf circuit, represented Mexico internationally, and competed in professional events, including appearances on the ASP/WSL circuit.
Beyond competitive surfing, Diego is an experienced fisherman, freediver, and spearfisherman. His knowledge of the ocean, developed through a lifetime on the Pacific coast, has made him a respected waterman and a member of the PELAGIC Pro Team.
As the founder and owner of Sayulita Surf Center, Diego has turned his lifelong passion into a business dedicated to sharing authentic ocean experiences, from surfing and sportfishing to spearfishing and ocean exploration.
For Diego, the ocean has never simply been a sport or a profession. It is a way of life.

Delphine Duhot5.0NEWBeginner fishing, pro-level experience
5 Hr - Inshore Fly FishingHonestly, we’ve done this fishing trip twice now and both times have been absolutely amazing ! We went with friends, had the best time and everyone caught fish. We even made fresh ceviche right there on the boat on our way back, which we then enjoyed on a little private beach with the most crystal-clear water. We got to swim, relax and enjoy our catch. I’m pretty small and the fish we caught were definitely NOT haha. Mine almost pulled me into the water. But Diego and his team were incredible. They made us feel safe the whole time, taught us so much and were so patient and encouraging. One of my favourite moments was when they actually held me so I could pull my own fish out of the water instead of just taking the rod and doing it for me. Such a fun and empowering experience. I honestly cannot recommend Sayulita Surf Center enough. We’ve also done surf trips and whale watching with them and every single experience has been fantastic. Great people, great energy and unforgettable memories. If you’re in Sayulita, don’t miss out !!

5 Hr – Inshore Boat ComboHicimos el combo de 5 horas en lancha cerca de la costa en Sayulita y fue una experiencia increíble. El capitán Diego fue súper amable, sabía mucho y se aseguró de que la pasáramos muy bien. La lancha estaba limpia y cómoda. Realmente disfrutamos el viaje y definitivamente lo volveríamos a hacer. ¡Muy recomendado!
