Doxa Welcomes Mélodie Treviño As Friend Of The Brand
2 min read
Mélodie Treviño’s journey into the abyss is defined by extreme precision, courage, and an insatiable appetite for the unknown. A former member of Mexico’s national competitive diving team, Treviño has evolved into a powerhouse in some of the most rigorous and demanding disciplines of scuba diving. As a PADI AmbassaDiver and DAN Global Ambassador, her underwater portfolio spans technical and sidemount diving, navigating complex, high-pressure environments where every second and breath demands absolute mechanical and psychological control. It also includes cave and wreck exploration, venturing into subterranean labyrinths and historic wrecks, as well as trimix dives, descending to extreme depths approaching 140 meters, where light fades, pressure mounts, and reliable gear is a matter of survival. This unwavering demand for reliability under pressure mirrors the DNA of DOXA. Since introducing the first dedicated public dive watch, the iconic orange-dialed DOXA SUB in 1967, the brand has been an indispensable companion to generations of underwater explorers, marrying Swiss watchmaking tradition with high-performance utility.

Exploring the Unseen: Science and Subterranean Worlds
For Treviño, exploration extends far beyond athletic boundaries into the realm of rigorous scientific inquiry. Her expeditions include groundbreaking research on Taam Ja’ which is believed to be the deepest blue hole yet identified, located in Mexico's Chetumal Bay, is vital for understanding complex underwater geological formations and marine ecosystems. She has also lent her expertise to the Xunaan Ha expedition, mapping subterranean aquatic systems where rock meets water.
A Holistic Vision for Marine Conservation
Beyond her feats as a diver, Treviño brings sharp strategic acumen to environmental protection. Holding an MBA with studies at the Yale School of Management and the University of Twente, she approaches marine conservation through economic, scientific, and human lenses. As the head of the Saving Our Sharks Foundation in the Mexican Caribbean, Treviño works tirelessly to protect essential apex predators, engage local communities, and promote sustainable economic alternatives and regenerative tourism. Furthermore, through her global ambassadorships, she champions education, safety protocols, and a deeply respectful approach to interacting with fragile marine habitats.
