Alumni Voices
What Our Alumni Say
Real outcomes from real graduates — hear how our mentorship-driven approach shaped their careers.
I took the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course and PADI AWARE Specialty course with Ying Kai. He explained the concepts clearly and shared practical tips that made the courses both informative and enjoyable. While running through the PADI AWARE course, his passion for marine conservation was evident, and we also learned about underwater conservation efforts we can contribute to in Singapore. I also did the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course with Ying Kai at Coral Eye Bangka. Despite not having dived for eight years, his patience and deep knowledge made the experience enjoyable and reassuring. He helped me regain confidence in the water by reviewing diving basics, ensuring my safety, improving my buoyancy, and guiding me through my first night dive safely. I highly recommend learning and diving with Ying Kai.

I took the PADI Nitrox and PADI AWARE courses with my friends, and our Instructor Ying Kai was fantastic! He was patient, clear, and made everything easy to grasp. He also took the time to answer all our diving questions and shared many useful tips. His passion for diving really shines through in the way he teaches, making the experience both fun and inspiring. I highly recommend taking classes with The Submersibles — you'll be in great hands!
