In 2013 while snorkeling in Cuba, Ying suffered a near drowning. The experience was so terrifying that she would not swim again for almost 8 years.
One day, she thought: “What if I have a scuba tank? I can’t drown, right?” So, she started to swim daily at Pan Am, and signed up for SCUBA lessons with Diver City.
She said: It is not just simply swimming again; it is about overcoming this fear and challenging herself.
Today, Ying is hooked on scuba diving and finished her Divemaster program in November of 2023. Her goal is to become a TDI full cave diver in 2025.
