Our Story

In 1997, three passionate divers—Carlos Blanch from Spain, Peter Gotto from Germany, and Zimmi from Switzerland—met on the beautiful island of Boracay. They shared a vision of creating a high-quality diving school that would not only teach diving but also offer dive safaris for more experienced divers. This vision led to the birth of Fisheye Divers.

A New Chapter with Aaron Tan

In 2018, Aaron Tan, a Malaysian PADI Master Instructor, took over Fisheye Divers from the original founders. Carlos Blanch, Peter Gotto, and Zimmi decided it was time to retire and pass on their legacy. They entrusted Aaron with their beloved dive center, confident that he would continue to uphold the traditions and ideology they had established. Aaron has since ensured that Fisheye Divers remains a beacon of excellence in the diving community.
