David BaťaDivemaster Instructor
David Baťa
SSI Divemaster Instructor #110857
Czech quarries, trips abroad and underwater photography. He is happy to share his experience and the joy of diving.
David had his first taste of diving in Egypt in 2017. In spring 2020 he tried the basic course, tried it and never let go. As soon as he completed one specialisation, he immediately carried on with the next. Diving captivated him so much, and got under his skin so deeply, that he continued his training and gathering experience. As he enjoys mentoring and leading people, professional courses are the obvious choice for him so that he can pass on his knowledge and share with others the joy of diving and the experiences connected with it.
You can meet David not only at the Czech quarries all year round at weekends, but also on adventures abroad. Recently he has become fascinated by underwater photography, so on almost every dive you will find him with a camera and two antennae – photo lights. At quarries he enjoys attractions and hunting them down. Abroad, wrecks and rich flora (he is constantly looking for Nemo :-D)
In his own words: “Thanks to diving alone have I found balance in my working life. There is nothing more beautiful than going underwater to clear your head of work duties and the rush. I always surface as a new person, and as an added bonus I am with a bunch of great people, which is definitely the diving community around Divers. Diving is no longer just a hobby, but life”. “Up we go down”
