I first tried “adventure diving” while traveling abroad, but it wasn’t until I joined Divesoft that diving truly clicked for me. I completed my OWD course and started diving with Tomáš Trnka. In adventure diving, someone always leads the way but it’s only after the course, on that very first independent dive, that you understand what diving really is.

What I enjoy most is the feeling of entering a completely different world. Freedom, calm, clarity. Underwater, it’s easy to forget everything. You usually see life beneath the surface on a screen or in photos, but witnessing it with your own eyes is something else entirely. The diversity down there is huge and always worth it. My most unforgettable dive was the German Junkers Ju 87 “Stuka” dive bomber. You couldn’t see anything from the surface, but as we descended, its silhouette slowly appeared. I was surprised by how well preserved it was, and seeing it underwater with my own eyes is something I’ll never forget. For now, I’m an OWD diver working toward my AOWD. I dive a classic OC wing, but ultimately I’d like to move toward the CCR Liberty Sidemount. Diving is my form of relaxation, something I don’t have as much time for as I’d like, but I make the most of every chance to get underwater.

I joined Divesoft in 2018. I started by assembling analyzers and accessories, and within a few months, I also began servicing them. As my knowledge grew, so did my responsibilities. Today, I work as a service technician. Every service request that comes to Divesoft passes through my hands, from diagnostics and repair proposals to coordinating the final fix. Customers rarely meet me face to face, but they’ll see my words in their repair quotes.

As for equipment, I recommend DNA, a simple Nitrox solution you can keep in your pocket. Everyone carries a phone these days, and with DNA you can measure Nitrox without a full analyzer. I don’t need anything more for my own diving.

Outside of work, most of my time goes to my house and dogs. When I do find time or when there’s an urgent call I help search for lost and stray animals, and I’m active in the volunteer fire department. These moments help me clear my head and forget the day’s worries.
