Petr Polách Czech Republic
I come from the Czech Republic. Photography has been my hobby for over 40 years. My photography has always been accompanying my sports activities, include diving. I have adapted my photography equipment to be able to take photos under water and in flooded caves. Caves are characterized by an unfavorable situation for a photographer, that is: absolute darkness. Nevertheless, the world of flooded caves, in which a diver floats in a state of weightlessness between the beautiful stalactite decoration, has absolutely captivated me and forces me to capture this beauty in photographs and share it with people who do not have a chance to visit the world of flooded caves. I take pictures not only in caves. I have taken many UW photos in the warm and cold seas and in the lakes.
