I was a teenager when I tried scuba diving for the first occasion on a summer vacation with my parents. I really liked it, but I had to wait for a long time for fulfilling my dream till 2004, when I completed my first scuba diving course.

I had dived many countries all over the world, slowly progressing up my ranks, and in 2010 I achieved the PADI Instructor certification. Interesting, but I met GUE divers first time on my PADI Instructor Development Course, including an Instructor, who was talking about unbelievable things about his organisation. So I decided to “take the red pill and check, how deep the rabbit hole goes”.

IMG_0316So this event happened in 2011 on a GUE Fundamentals course, taught by Zsolt Szilagyi, and I really have to say, that I woke up. There was no turning back from this point. In 2012 I completed Tech1 course with Rich Walker, Cave1 course with David Rhea and DPV1 course again with Zsolt Szilagyi. In this year I started to run for instructorship as well. In The Netherlands I participated on a Fundamentals ITC, where Jarrod Jablonski, Rich Walker, Jesper Berglund, Panos Alexakos and Dorota Czerny were my trainers.IMG_0455

The year of 2013 was year for further development. I got Tech2 certification from Mario Arena and Cave2 from Chris Le Maillot, meanwhile I did many internships as an instructor candidate. The fruit of my works arrived in 2014, when I became GUE Fundamentals Instructor, supported by Mario Arena. I earned Rec1 Instructor rating too in 2015.

I have got sport trainer certification for teaching, and I am able to service diving equipment.

My friends, students know me as a patient and calm person, but the most important, that I do respect to all my students.
