History

"It all began with watching the movies 'Le Monde du silence' and '4 du Moana'. My first experience underwater was on a makeshift raft in the Bystřička stream in Olomouc. I used motorcycle goggles, on which I dripped wax to seal the vents. This sealing attempt lasted for approximately 20 seconds before the goggles filled with water. Nevertheless, even such a brief glimpse below the surface was enough to ignite my passion, which I continue to pursue to this day."
