I am a Czech biologist, scientist and underwater photographer who has been diving for more than 20 years. I have travelled all over the world and visited many top dive sites. It wasn’t until my first dive on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia that I developed a passion for underwater photography. I have won many awards for underwater photography (for example in the Ocean Art 2020 and Ocean Art 2021 competitions and at the PAF Tachov International Festival of Underwater Photography and Film -Czech Republic 2020/2021/2023). Some of my underwater photos have been creatively processed in graphic editing programs (see the 2nd edition of my book ‘The Silent World through the Lens of Underwater Art Photography‘). My photos are regularly featured in exhibitions and published in diving magazines such as the UK’s DIVE and OCEANOGRAPHIC magazines. I believe that the public display of underwater photographs could raise social awareness of marine conservation.
