Month: September 2016

Meet our new GS-Diving Padi Instructor – Gary Lim. Congratulations!

Here is Gary’s Bio for your perusal:

PADI MSDT Instructor # 374536
+65 9800 0539
gary@gs-diving.com

Born in Singapore, Gary Lim started diving in 2015 after a 20 year stint as a Project Engineer in the construction industry.  What started out as a hobby soon became a passion and life-long career for him.

Gary’s Open Water Diver certification in 2015 was a turning point in his life, and he has never looked back since.  His love for the underwater world and marine life prompted him to plunge into this new-found career.

Since then, he has attained his certifications as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, PADI Rescue Diver and PADI DiveMaster.  With a strong desire to face the challenges in diving, he pushed his limits and became a PADI Instructor in September 2016.  This allows him to teach students up to the levels of PADI DiveMaster.

While the sky’s the limit, the beautiful ocean has no limits to Gary.  There are endless possibilities in every diving trip and ‘no one dive is the same’.  His fascination with the ocean presents a myriad of imaginations and joy he has never experienced before.  To him, exploring the ocean is an appreciation of God’s beautiful creations.

As a PADI Instructor, he hopes to share his passion and joy with students to explore the beautiful underwater world because the depths of the sea introduces a new world which a non-diver would never see.

Gary would soon be pursuing his certification as a PADI IDC Staff Instructor in 2017.

Luckily the storm cleared from the previous night and we enjoyed great visibility diving in Singapore’s backyard at a local island called Hantu. Viz was easily 8 to 10 metres. Everyone dived in buddy teams for two morning dives and successfully saw many residents like nudibranchs, pipefish, hard coral and batfish. One team even saw the seahorse. Sand storms were kept to a minimum as divers ensured that they didn’t really fin, but floated slowly along the reef looking for little critters.

GS-Diving prides itself with small ratios of PADI Instructors to PADI scuba diving students.

We really want you to learn to the best of your ability, at your pace. It’s a fun interactive class.

Ask questions and know you will be heard and answered. Having trouble demonstrating a skill, don’t worry, help is at hand and will be given promptly.

Learning to dive is enjoyable and not a chore.

Start your underwater discovery today with GS-Diving.
