I was born in Nice, cote d´azur, raised in Warsaw, Poland. I was always amazed by the sea colour and what´s going on in the water world.
Firstly, entroduced into diving by my father in Corsica, I fell in love with it instantly. Which I continued to improve on my own in Fuerteventura, Egypt, Ecuador and Iceland.
All that time underwater was not enough, hungry for more I realised there is much happening on it´s surface. I was watching rolling waves for hours and days. I decided it´s time to give it a try and ride them! Now my main hobby is surfing!
I have travelled many places in pursue of waves and diving which eventually led me here, to Iceland, there are beautiful diving spots and uncrowded waves. Now as a guide in Silfra, I am happy to share my passion for diving with everyone, in one of the clearest waters on our blue planet!
Perfect day? For me it would be a day spent in the water, either diving, surfing or just laying on the surface!
