Ashwin Gerald
A diving professional -
Whether it’s through diving courses, marine conservation projects or inspecting vessels in the middle of the sea.
Being wholeheartedly committed to the ocean, I’m an SSI scuba diving instructor and PADI instructor available, as well as a tech diver and IMCA Class II Diver.
Since 2012 I’ve rapidly ascended to be a respected figure in the diving scene throughout India, the UAE, Oman, Qatar and Southeast Asia, gaining a loyal following of students and like-minded dive professionals worldwide.
Fast-forward 10 years and, since 2022, I've been based in Singapore working as a salvage & inspection diver. At a moment's notice, I'll don my commercial diving gear to weld and cut subsea objects for repair and salvaging purposes.
When not diving, you'll find me at the swimming pool, visiting local attractions or trying a new dish on the menu (as long as it's spicy!).
