According to her, it takes five to six days to get a basic certificate and people need to further their skills by diving deeper. There are many diving schools in popular destinations, where the coaches are "responsible and friendly".

She says many coaches can speak Mandarin as Chinese people are among the main customer groups in such places.

She has also met many Chinese who also go there especially for diving.

"You can interact with other learners for several days in a diving course. It's important to choose a diving company carefully as you can help each other while diving together and make friends eventually," she says.

"If I can choose, I want to be a diving coach in the future, but I have lots to learn."
