This man is crazy but in the most positive sense of the word. In an increasingly soft society that seeks only comfort, those who crave discomfort are beginning to be in a real minority.
It was such people who discovered new lands, animal species or had adventures on which …
Cool team in hot jungle looking for stone sphere. That's how I would describe this photo in a few words. But of course, what's probably most important is that you can get a group of like-minded people together to do something crazy. It doesn't have a price but it has a very …
Isn't it a beautiful place? I have the privilege to call it home. This did not happen by accident or without hard work. I wasn't born here, nor was anyone in my family a diver. No one told me that instead of working like a cog of a corporation, you can live a different life.…
Diving is not just a way of recreation or a sporting challenge. Above all, it's a way to meet cool people and find friends for life. Imagine that you have some of the same crazies as you, who are ready for any new adventure. Even the wildest one. As for me, that's what has t…
I love diving in a sidemount configuration! Give me more independence and comfort. Although, due to work I don't have much opportunity to use my harness, but sometimes I manage to find a moment to dive for my own pleasure.
We'll also be opening siedmount configuration cour…
Diving and climbing paradoxically have a lot in common. Especially who you face when doing all these things. Here you don't have an opponent in the ring, or another team on the field. There is only you and your bravery or lack of it. Or as we used to say "you and your balls"…
Whenever we return from a dive on Isla del Cano, there is a moment when my phone regains coverage and then the bombardment of messages and emails begins. This day was no different, except that I received one special email.
That day I received notification from PADI @paditv…

The minimum age for open water diving is 10 years. It seems young and I honestly don't remember what I dreamed of and enjoyed at that age. If I had the opportunity to dive then, would my life have turned out differently? I guess this is a philosophical question that has no …
Have you watched the series "Dark" yet? This photo somehow made me think of the heavy atmosphere of this series. And on the other hand, I could say that when I dive underwater, I also have my parallel world, where everything is similar, but yet different.
And the time when…
Night diving usually evokes mixed feelings. If someone has no experience, they react to the phrase 'night diving' with shock, as if it is not possible at all. If anyone has already tried scuba diving then they know that it is as far as possible.
However, even here we are m…
Meeting a shark is always fun. The ones we have every day on Isla del Cano may not be big sharks, but still standing eye to eye with them is exciting to say the least. And we often get questions about the safety of diving in the company of sharks. I always answer that they a…
Do you also have that sunsets put you in some kind of meditative-contemplative state? Despite the fact that we have sunrise and sunset every day, these two moments always evoke pleasant feelings in me. And I guess it's not only in me, because every evening on the beach you c…
Well, okay, in this photo I was young and beautiful. Now I'm just a beauty... If memory serves me correctly, it was near the Verdone Gorge in France. A very enjoyable climbing trip. Big walls, cheap wine and blue cheese. Plus, nice weather and a fun team.
Sometimes I think…
I train divers at different levels and for different diving licenses. And although most of the courses we have at @CostaRicaDivers are Open Water Diver basic courses, that doesn't stop us from doing more advanced courses. We just finished a deep specialization up to 40m and …
Despite exhaustion and the terrible heat in the jungle, I managed to reach the stone spheres on Isla del Cano. It is a magical and mysterious place. Despite many hypotheses as to how and why these spheres were created, to this day we have no specifics that leave no questions…
A very big cultural difference for Europeans in Asia is street food. Of course, the same is true in Thailand. You can buy almost any kind of local food on the street. Whether it's a sweet snack or a spicy soup. It's just incredibly convenient that you don't have to plan wher…
It's funny. It used to be that all you needed was a few coins for fuel and an old Golf to drive halfway across Europe and climb a nice wall. Today, the organization of any trip is no longer so spontaneous, and it is impossible to travel several thousand kilometers just like …
Doesn't that smile speak for itself? A new licensed diver on her final dive of the PADI Open Water Diver course. That's how diving works, especially in good company. And even more important is a good instructor who will introduce you to the sub world in a professional but fu…
