My first open-water dives took place in 1983 in former totalitarian Czechoslovakia.
I completed the training programme CMAS and later on I accomplished many training programmes including PADI, SSI, TDI/SDI and EDS.
In 2002 I successfully managed to complete my IANTD instructor course and since then I have been teaching IANTD courses (which I do with a great passion.)
Moreover, in 2002 I also took part in wreck diving in Scottish Scapaflow where I started to be interested in technical diving. The technical diving brought me to Mexico a year later and there I broadened my horizons and started with cave diving.
2 years ago I got interested in Toddy Style and I became involved in this diving style. After a visit in Sardinia and my first cooperation with Toddy, I was stunned by his philosophy, diving drills and attitude.
I became a TS instructor in 2021 and I am really enthusiastic about my next diving steps and improving the sidemount technique which holds my attentions because its technical and security innovations.
I am keen on learning and improving my skills as well as teaching them.
My motto is: There is still something to learn!
