Jakub Rehacek is the founder of the original Golem Gear which designed and developed advanced expedition grade diving equipment from the earliest days of closed circuit rebreather diving.
He was a member of the exploration team that mapped and connected Beacon Woods Cave System to Wayne’s World system, creating second longest underwater traverse in Florida at the time (~12,000 feet), and was a member of the expedition that explored, mapped, and provided video documentation of Cenote Xla-kah under Dzibilchaltun Archeological Site, Yucatan, Mexico.
Jake also worked as a stunt diver for the movie “Cave” as well as several documentaries.
We first met Jakub in the mid 1990’s when he was working with the very earliest production models of Prism Topaz and the early US Navy NUBA project. He was instrumental in the development of the Hammerhead CCR, and is currently developing a new update for the hugely successful “Flex” side mount system.
Jakub’s insights, inventions and experience has been an invaluable resource for Juergensen Marine for decades now, and we continue to cooperate with him on our new product lines.
Jakub remains one of those Legendary Divers to whom we salute as we push our products forward to the next generation of technical divers worldwide.
