OUR INSTRUCTORS

Professional, Passionate, Safety

"Between the blue sky and the deep blue sea, safety is the line I will never cross."

I have a deep passion for extreme sports. In 1989, I took my very first dive to prepare for search and rescue operations. By 1992, I was serving as a military skydiving instructor. To me, whether it’s soaring through the clouds in skydiving or exploring the ocean depths in scuba diving, both are incredible ways to experience the world from entirely different perspectives.

Having gone through rigorous military and rescue training, I understand the absolute critical importance of diving safety better than anyone. Drawn to the laid-back, slow-paced lifestyle of Hengchun in the south,I foundedAtoll Dive Centerhere in 2010. Here, we don’t just take you to explore the breathtaking ocean—we commit to the highest standards of professionalism and safety, ensuring every diver embarks with joy and returns home safely. Let’s explore the underwater world safely and happily together!

"Hey everyone! I’m Victor."
With 15 years of diving under my belt, the ocean has truly become my second home. I’d love for you to come down to Kenting to dive, hang out, breathe in the fresh ocean air, and just have an amazing time with us! I’ll take you deep into Kenting’s most breathtaking underwater secrets, where you can immerse yourself in swirling schools of fish and experience the ultimate healing power of our weightless, deep-blue world.

But trust me, the fun in Hengchun doesn’t just stop at the shoreline!
As a local insider, if you’re down for some top-side adventures, I can be your personal guide to the hidden gems of Hengchun Peninsula. Whether you want to explore the rich history of our ancient city walls, chase a secret sunset known only to locals, or hunt down hidden street food gems, I’ve got you covered. Join me for the ultimate land-and-sea adventure and experience Hengchun to the absolute fullest. Come hang out with us! 😘😘

I love the thrill of riding the wind and waves while sailing, the weightless relaxation of diving, and the thrill of standing on the wave of surfing! I prefer the laid-back atmosphere of Hengchun~ If you also like to play with water, you are welcome to come and play with us!

 

I am Bo Jun. I have the feeling of being surrounded by water since I was a child. I have also engaged in many water sports. I always feel that I can feel free in the water. I also hope that more people can experience and even fall in love with this feeling .

My name is BO WEI. In the sea, we feel like a real fish, enjoying the leisurely swimming in this boundless space and the magnificence of all kinds of marine species. The activity of diving not only brings you visual beauty, but also a kind of spiritual healing. It also gives me more strength to move forward.

 

I have been diving since college, and it has been three years now. The main reason why I like this activity is that I don't have to worry about things on land, but just concentrate on the scenery in front of me. If you want to experience the carefree feeling or enjoy the scenery in the water, you are welcome to come and see me!

 

After living on land for a long time, you always want to see different scenery. "I want to show other people how stunning and beautiful my vision was on my first dive". This thought has never changed. Come and dive with me! Let me bring you to enjoy the freedom that the ocean gives us and open up a wider.

We look forward to the next partner to join our team and dive the blue ocean together! We look forward to the next
