Jean-Paul Laclau
I join expeditions and film shoots at sea as a biologist, diver and 360 filmmaker. With Oryon Soluciones I build software for labs, NGOs and ecotourism companies.

I do it with Oryon Soluciones, the company I co-founded. I built Clementina Patagónica, the Fundación ProyectoSub platform to store and share drone surveys, used by researchers at CENPAT-CONICET in Puerto Madryn.
360
360 videos shot underwater: the Folias wreck and other sunken ships of Puerto Madryn, Punta Pardelas on an ebbing tide and a few southern right whales that showed up, unsought, during a CENPAT-CONICET scientific campaign.

Sea trips, expeditions, fieldwork and tech projects, each one in its own note: three expeditions in 2025 with Fundación ProyectoSub, transect lines at the Folias wreck and LEPTOMAR's live cameras. If you are organizing an expedition, I can join.

Propósito Azul started as my dive school. I am still a certified SSI instructor, but I do not run regular courses: here are seven schools run by friends.

Jean-Paul Laclau: marine biologist (UBA), SSI instructor since 2015, underwater 360 filmmaker, app developer, systems builder and co-founder of Oryon Soluciones. Propósito Azul started as his dive school and is now his personal and professional site.
Jean-Paul Laclau joins expeditions, film shoots and surveys as a marine biologist, SSI instructor and underwater 360 filmmaker. He has been an SSI instructor since 2015, with specialties in cold water, dry suit, wreck diving and photo and video, and his record can be verified with SSI using the number PRO 62595. In 2025 he went on three expeditions with Fundación ProyectoSub. Invitations are arranged over WhatsApp; formal ones from an institution, by email to jeanpaul@oryonsoluciones.com.
Jean-Paul Laclau carries out his technology projects with Oryon Soluciones, the company he co-founded, which invoices them: institutional websites, data dashboards, field apps and management systems, for institutions, NGOs and ecotourism companies. To get started, just tell Oryon about the project on its WhatsApp line; for a formal quote request, the email is jeanpaul@oryonsoluciones.com.
Jean-Paul Laclau built the websites of LARBIM, a marine invertebrate lab at IBIOMAR (CCT CONICET-CENPAT); of LEPTOMAR (IBIOMAR-CONICET), which now shows eight live cameras from Patagonia Azul Provincial Park; and of Fundación ProyectoSub. He also built Clementina Patagónica, the Fundación ProyectoSub platform to store and share drone surveys: online since May 2026, as of November 2026 it holds more than 80 surveys and more than 26,000 drone images from the coast of Chubut and Río Negro.
Jean-Paul Laclau builds the tools that surveys use, such as Clementina Patagónica, the Fundación ProyectoSub drone survey platform, and is sometimes in the water: during a CENPAT-CONICET scientific campaign on Península Valdés he filmed a photo-quadrat sampling dive in 360 at 15 m depth, and at the Folias wreck he tested transect lines.
Jean-Paul Laclau filmed his 360 videos at the Folias wreck and other sunken ships in Puerto Madryn, at Punta Pardelas (Península Valdés) and during a CENPAT-CONICET scientific campaign on Península Valdés, with research permits, when southern right whales showed up. You can watch them with a cardboard viewer, a 360 headset or by moving your phone; on a computer, by dragging the video.
Jean-Paul Laclau does not run regular courses. He is still a certified SSI instructor and recommends seven schools run by friends in Puerto Madryn, Ushuaia, Buenos Aires City, San Isidro and La Plata.
Jean-Paul Laclau lives in Buenos Aires and works remotely, in Spanish, English and French. Technology projects are contracted and invoiced through Oryon Soluciones.
