For the past three years, I have regularly received the PADI Elite Instructor distinction while working at . Our courses are designed to be fun, but also to show the real aspects of diving in the ocean, which is different from calm European lakes for obvious reasons. Another successful course and I am not afraid to sign off on my students' licenses 💪

... resting after a dive with my face red from the cold water, I realized that I would prefer to do most of my dives in warm tropical water.... The die is cast. I am going to dive professionally in the tropical waters of Costa Rica instead of in the chilling dirty water 😀

01/05/2024

It was at this point, after another dive in a dirty pond and in damn cold water, that I began to think that although diving is fun it's time to change something....

When someone asks me why I chose such a job and not a tie and an office, I answer with a photo like this. When was the last time you had the opportunity to sit on the beach during working hours and enjoy a coffee straight from the coconut? Well, that's right... there's your answer 😁

26/04/2024

I have to say that I enjoy my job, although of course it is not always just colorful and nice. Nevertheless, I love to see the satisfied faces of clients after another day of diving with our team in Costa Rica.

Dear Friends! A great opportunity and our special trip that we have been working on for the last few months is now available. This November we are going to visit one of the most interesting countries in South America - Venezuela.

Venezuela has a very interesting and dramatic history of going from the richest country around, to a crumbling nation of lost dreams. At the same time, the country has been undergoing many changes in recent years, and you have the opportunity to see it all with your own eyes.

And if you're a diver, you've hit the jackpot, because our trip will also be rich in diving in Venezuela's most beautiful places!

Check out the tour details on our website: https://goexplorewith.me/tour/venezuela-undiscovered-paradise-12-days-11-nights/

Venezuela has great diving sites and has a lot to offer. Take part in our diving trip to Venezuela and discover this paradise!

The history of this place is quite interesting and fascinating. In 1817 the old monastery was converted into a brewery, which supposedly had one of the best beers in Europe.

Apparently, the secret was the crystal clear water used to produce beer, which was collected from underground caverns located exactly under the buildings of the monastery.

Unfortunately, the too-good-to-be-true beer didn't sit well with foreign competitors, and as a result of many hostile takeover and closure attempts, the brewery eventually surrendered in 1997 and went into liquidation.

But... underground caverns filled with crystal water are still there today. I knew I had to dive there! And so I did.

Dark underground corridors with remnants of beer production led me to flooded parts and I could finally jump into the water.

I must admit that this is a truly magical place, where the natural stone is combined with the masonry and the remains of the brewery equipment. I spent more than an hour exploring the corners of these corridors and this solo dive gave me something difficult to describe. Some strange feeling that I am touching history and the lives of people who no longer exist.

That's why I most enjoy solo dives in the remnants of our predecessors. Read - flooded mines and all kinds of wrecks or sunken sites.

A good team at work is as important as a relationship with the right person in private life. We spend a lot of time with each other, often in challenging conditions and at the same time with responsibility for clients on our shoulders.

That's why selecting the right people is crucial in what we do. There is no room for coincidences or too much individualism.

Maybe at we are quite picky and precise in selecting team members, but this way we know where we stand 💪

We didn't have much time to explore Granada, but what I saw made a very positive impression on me.

It is definitely a place worth recommending and goes on my list to visit again. Especially since there are some interesting wrecks to dive.

For now, these are just a few photos from the city, but there will be more to come.

28/11/2023

I spent the last three days in Suriname, exploring the backstreets of the capital, Paramaribo. As is typical of a port city, it is full of contrasts.

Poverty, homelessness and insanity mix with shady businesses and gold chains. Definitely a crisp mix for adventurers and street photographers like me.

PEOPLE IN FRENCH GUIANA

The amazing part of traveling for me is always the opportunity to observe people. How they look, what they do, how they communicate.

And having visited many places around the world, I can say that in general we are all alike. On our first day in French Guiana, I had to wander into the local backstreets to observe the people.

24/11/2023

New Orleans really impressed me. Of course, due to the DEMA Show, I didn't have much time to explore the city, but from what I saw, I'm really pleasantly surprised.

Clean, nice people and I didn't feel unsafe for a moment. Is this really the case when you get off the beaten path? That's something I can't know.

But I do know that in my ranking Louisiana is definitely ahead of California and Florida, which I have visited before.

23/11/2023

As I mentioned in a previous post, New Orleans has many interesting attractions for lovers of abandoned places.

Most of them are closed, of course, and going inside involves breaking the law, which I don't urge you to do, but....

21/11/2023

New Orleans has many interesting places for Urbex lovers. Hurricane Kathrina in 2005 caused a lot of damage, and some buildings remain abandoned to this day.

Probably the two most characteristic buildings are Charity Hospital - photo 1 and 2 and Parish Prison - photo 3

I wish I had the time or opportunity to go inside and take some photos. Maybe next time there will be such an opportunity.

19/11/2023

This year the was held in New Orleans. We exhibited there as and I have a lot of ideas for next year. And here are some photos from the show.

22/10/2023

We finalize topics related to the trip, documents, visas and everything necessary. We are also creating a framework plan, which is, of course, very fluid and subject to change.

This is what such opening trips are all about. To see it with your own eyes and go with the wave. So as to choose the best and most interesting for future expeditions.

One such place that seems worth a visit is Kaieteur Falls. It is the world's largest single drop waterfall. It's located on the Potaro River in Kaieteur National Park, part of the Amazon rainforest in Guyana.

21/10/2023

I can now officially say that in November our next expedition will begin, and this time we are going to a very original region.

We'll be exploring three countries that are hardly ever destinations. And those countries are Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana.

This is my first trip to this region and I am even more interested in discovering something new.

This is a VIP tour and the list of daredevils is closed, but be sure to like our social media as we will keep everything updated. https://www.instagram.com/goexplorewith.me/

And if you are looking for real adventure, adrenaline and new experiences instead of all-inclusive hotels, then GoExploreWith.me is what you are looking for.

I'm a monster.

You have to admit that this is a pretty cool selfie. We've had dozens of turtles on the island in recent days! These magnificent animals are always a cool diving companion.

Do you know this guy who asks people on the street what they do for a living? I'm not a millionaire so I'm unlikely to be asked.

But if someone were to ask me, I think a professional diver would be the best answer. I do a whole bunch of things and manage more than just a dive center, but my computer doesn't lie though. In the 13 months since I bought it I already have 285 dives.

Only 5 of them were exploratory, to discover new sites and diving just for my pleasure. The rest were dive training at all levels and guiding clients.

So yes, I am a professional diver.

So this is our new friend and crew member. He doesn't have a name yet, but he's a purebred Cane Corso, which means he's going to be a big dog. It is one of the largest dog breeds in the world and also the biggest cuddlers.

210° - this is the address of my second home. No matter what the weather or visibility is, I will always get there. Sometimes it takes more than normal, but after all, this is what adventures are all about.

 

09/06/2023

I like to get reminders on my phone of what happened a year ago. And it's hard to believe that just today marks one year since we were looking for the entrance to the cave. In the rain and up to our waist in bushes.

It turned out that the legend was a legend, and there was no cave, unless you count a small hole between the rocks. But the adventure was an adventure, and that's what matters most.

So, instead of sitting in front of the TV, get your ass outside.

If you think that everything in the world has already been discovered, you are greatly mistaken. Just now it has been confirmed thanks to Krzysztof Starnawski that Taam Ja in Mexico is the deepest Blue Hole in the world.

This is why I love diving - it's a never-ending story with surprising twists and turns on the scale of Agatha Christie

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 films were later based. I'm glad that there are still people who are looking for adventure and want to experience something live, not just from the screen of their phone.

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 high value.

29/04/2023

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. I had to discover it myself.

Did I have and still have doubts? Am I afraid that it may not work out as I dreamed and will collapse at the least expected moment? You don't even know how scared I am of this.... But apparently getting out of your comfort zone and fighting for your dreams is the only way to achieve them.

So as Elthon John sang - I'm still standing.

28/04/2023

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 the most value in life. So if you are looking for a purpose in life, a new hobby or friends then just start diving.

27/04/2023

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 courses at soon so there will be more opportunities to hug two tanks.

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".

Aid climbing, on the other hand, is another way to test the size of your cojones. And if you think it's about making climbing "easier", it means you've never hung your entire body weight on a mini nut the size of a pie crumb...

I assure you that nothing raises your blood pressure and drains your body as much as the view of a climbing nut sliding out under your weight, which inevitably must end in a fall....

Those were years of really crazy and cool fun... lol....
