As a scuba and free diving coach, Hans enjoys sharing his passion for exploring the underwater world and the beauty of Earth with as many people as possible. If you encounter a person with a yellow label "HJ" underwater, you know it's him.

HJ has proposed the vision of Shanghai diving and is responsible for strategic planning, public relations, and daily business operations for Shanghai diving.

He is a person who inspires people and keeps things going. As an indifferent teacher, he brings people together and creates experiences that you can't afford with money!

His motto is:

Life happens outside of your comfort zone!

Frank has obtained a diving license since 2013 and is currently a PADI diver, rescue diver, and underwater photographer; He is also a contracted photographer and travel blogger for Visual China (certified tour guide author and high-quality creator by Ma Fengwo)

Frank and Hans met in Koh Tao, Thailand in 2019, during their professional training at BAN'S, the largest PADI diving school on this planet. Since then, they have maintained contact and met again in Frank's hometown of Shanghai. At this moment, they decided to establish this non-profit diving club together.

Frank has extensive experience in diving and has a wide network of contacts. He was in the swimming pool with HJ and appeared to keep the project going. A partner you can trust! Frank loves diving and has explored many places in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia.

Frank is also an experienced professional with a good track record in marketing. In addition to being responsible for the club's marketing, Frank has also served as a designer and photographer.

We are very grateful to so many friends who have helped us achieve this vision!
