PADI Instructor #422079
Main Languages: English, French & Spanish
- Keline started diving at the young age of twelve years old. To Keline's despair, her mother was always trying to get her to do a sporting activity during holidays. One day, the hotel brochure in front of her face, the words Scuba Diving seemed to beam off the page. With glee -and her mother's approval of course!- she started her lessons right then and there.
- Thirteen years and hundreds of dives all over the world, Keline found her joy at Blue Holic where she keeps inspiring people to love diving and sharks as much as she does.

Go En Seo
PADI Instructor
Main Languages: Korean
Favorite type of dive: Night Diving!
I fell in love with the beauty of diving 7 years ago by accident. From the first experience, I was hooked.
- After exploring many Korean diving points as well as overseas diving destinations - I realized I wanted to capture these beautiful sea moments through a photo, which I enjoy taking.
- The experience of diving with just your eyes is amazing, but imagine being able to remember that moment at a later time.
- Seeing the beauty of the ocean brings a sense of protectiveness.
