OWNER, DIVING INSTRUCTOR, ENTHUSIAST
My name is Beniamin Schydlo, and I am the owner of the Demon Ray Dive Center.
I am a Technical Diving Instructor who regularly uses both the Sidemount configuration and Twinset during deep dives.
To me, technical diving is much more than an equipment configuration. It is a mindful approach to diving, where every detail matters and there is no room for random movements or compromises. Regardless of the configuration you choose, the foundation is precision, perfect trim, complete control, and deliberate decision-making underwater.
I train divers and instructors in both recreational and technical diving. I teach Sidemount and Twinset configurations, focusing not only on equipment knowledge but, above all, on developing the skills for safe, efficient, and mindful diving.
Diving is more than just what I do.
Diving is part of who I am.
A PASSION THAT BECAME A WAY OF LIFE
For Beniamin, diving has long been much more than just a profession. It is a passion that, over time, has become a natural part of his everyday life – a source of continuous growth and a way to discover the world.
Every dive, training course, and new underwater experience has helped build the knowledge Beniamin now shares with his students. Sidemount and technical diving hold a special place in this journey — disciplines that require precision, awareness, and a deep understanding of what happens underwater.
For him, the most important part of training is the person. It is not just about completing exercises or earning another certification, but about building confidence, developing good habits, and learning how to make informed decisions.
It is this combination of experience, calmness, and genuine passion for diving that allows him to naturally inspire others and share his enthusiasm with them.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Every passion has a beginning. For Beniamin, a single dive was enough to set him on a path that, over time, led to years of experience, numerous specializations, and eventually the creation of his own diving school. Here are the key milestones of his journey.
2014 — THE FIRST DIVE
The first dive in the ocean. That was where a passion began that quickly became something much more.
2015 — OPEN WATER DIVER CERTIFICATION
A year later, Beniamin continued his underwater journey, earning his first Open Water Diver certification.
THE FOLLOWING YEARS — CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT
Further courses, specializations, and hundreds of hours underwater. Sidemount and technical diving became particular areas of focus.
DEMON RAY — OWN DIVING SCHOOL
The experience gained over the years led to the creation of Demon Ray – a diving school built on quality, safety, and conscious training.
TODAY — EXPERIENCE & NEW DIRECTIONS
Today, Beniamin trains divers and continues to develop Demon Ray and PhysioDive Lab, combining practical diving experience with the analysis of the body’s responses underwater.
SPECIALIZATIONS
Beniamin continues to develop his expertise primarily in areas that require precision, awareness, and thorough preparation. Each of these specializations combines practical experience with a technical approach and a strong focus on safe, conscious diving.
SIDEMOUNT DIVING
One of Beniamin’s main specializations. The training focuses on freedom of movement, precision, proper trim, and full control of the equipment configuration underwater.
Technical Diving
Advanced training with a strong focus on procedures, safety, planning, and informed decision-making underwater.
CONSCIOUS DIVING
Not just technique, but also control, calmness, and the ability to respond effectively in challenging situations. All with the goal of diving with greater confidence and safety.
DIVING PHYSIOLOGY
Understanding how the body responds to depth, physical exertion, temperature, and stress. Knowledge that helps divers prepare more effectively and develop their skills with greater awareness.
PHYSIODIVE LAB
Available exclusively at Demon Ray
Technical Diving
Data Under Control
At Demon Ray, we have developed At Demon Ray, we have developed PhysioDive Lab – an innovative project that makes it possible to observe and analyse the body’s responses during a real dive..
During selected dives, we can record physiological and environmental parameters to observe how the body responds to depth, temperature, physical exertion, stress, and changing underwater conditions..
It is an additional training tool that allows you to look at technical diving not only from the perspective of the procedures performed but also to understand what is happening in your body at the same time..
- Monitoring heart rate and gas consumption
- Biometric data analysis
- Thermal monitoring and testing of undersuits
- Recording environmental conditions
- Analysis of stress and physiological strain
Data you can’t feel underwater.
Knowledge you can use.

More Than Standard Training
See how your body really responds underwater.
Awareness
Discover how your body responds during a real dive. Understand how depth, physical exertion, stress, and temperature affect your goals.
Analysis
Compare physiological parameters, gas consumption, and environmental conditions. The data reveals what you can’t feel underwater.
Development
Use the data to consciously improve your technique, preparation, and comfort on your future dives.
WHAT SETS HIS APPROACH APART?
This approach combines experience, calmness, and a highly individual focus on each student. Beniamin emphasizes not only technique, but also awareness, safety, and a clear understanding of what happens underwater — ensuring that progress is natural, thoughtful, and truly effective.
PERSONAL GUIDANCE
Every student develops at their own pace, which is why the training is tailored to their level, needs, and current skills.
CALMNESS AND SAFETY
What matters most is informed decision-making, thorough preparation, and staying calm — allowing divers to feel confident even in more challenging situations.
TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE
Practical knowledge and years of experience make it possible to provide precise, well-structured training in line with high safety standards.
GENUINE PASSION
Diving is an integral part of Beniamin’s everyday life, which is why he naturally shares his knowledge, experience, and passion with others.
