Additional Info

I am originally from Prague, Czech Republic and I have been permanently living in the Mayan Riviera in Mexico since 2007. I am a full-time instructor and guide in the local cenotes. My free time is spent underwater as well, exploring and documenting underwater and dry cave systems on the Yucatan Peninsula. When not in Mexico during the summer, I am teaching scuba diving courses in Europe.
