About

I grew into diving through my dad, who started when he was seventeen and later passed his passion on to me. I love the quiet illusion of zero gravity, the sense of entering new worlds, and the energy that comes from teaching, watching curiosity spark in students and sharing discoveries with friends. My diving life is a collection of moments that stay with me: exploring a sunken Jewish cemetery, diving to forty meters on the Barbakonac wall with minimal gear when I was thirteen, or spending days preparing to push further into the Manajama cave on Brač. These aren’t isolated memories; they’re part of a continuous journey.

I was among the first divers to use bailout rebreathers and became the world’s first official bailout rebreather instructor. Today, I’m also the only Factory Instructor Trainer for all Liberty configurations. Diving isn’t just part of my life, it’s the framework that shapes it. It’s where I’ve learned the most and where I’ve given the most back.


My Divesoft story started simply by being in the right place at the right time.

 Outside the water, I reset through cycling, walking my dog, or getting lost in a good book or film.
