Stories beneath the surface.
Many fascinating dive sites are located around wrecks of ships, aeroplanes or other artificial reefs. These underwater treasures attract divers not only with their history, but also with the rich marine life that surrounds them.

SSI Divemaster Instructor #103570
Cold water, wrecks and marine ecology. You will meet him at the pit and at Czech quarries.
He took up diving recreationally in 2014 and fell in love with the underwater world - the unique calm, weightlessness and incredible fauna and flora. Later he got a glimpse of a wreck and has wanted to keep peering into them ever since. In 2018 he realised that he wanted to make this world accessible to everyone and set off on a professional diving career.He is well versed in cold-water diving, low visibility and wreck diving.
He also enjoys studying aquatic ecosystems, which is why he teaches courses such as Marine Ecology.You can meet Pepína at the pit on Try scuba diving sessions or refresh lessons, and he never misses any diving events at quarries either. There he will be happy to help and advise you on land, guide you underwater, or assist with your course.
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”
Marek KušiakOpen Water Instructor
Marek Kušiak
SSI Open Water Instructor #117682
Sidemount enthusiast. He tailors training to the experience and needs of his students.
He started diving in 2006 with IANTD and over the years took courses in many diving systems with many instructors. Time and gradually gained experience have shown that courses across all organisations are very similar and that, overall, the instructor’s approach matters more than the name of the system. This is what he tries to follow during teaching and he adapts courses as much as possible to the students.
After a shoulder injury, he left technical diving for a while before deciding to try sidemount. Since then, he has fallen in love with sidemount diving. He currently mainly teaches this form of diving, which opens up new and interesting possibilities for beginners as well as experienced divers.
