Esther Lee

Esther co-founded The Submersibles in Singapore with Ying Kai and is the creative force behind the company’s iconic name, "The Submersibles," and its playful tagline, "Fun Under Pressure."

After leaving a high-powered career in corporate advertising, Esther traded business suits for wetsuits to be a PADI scuba instructor. With over 4,000 dives logged, she has immersed herself fully in teaching scuba and exploring the underwater world as a passionate dive traveller.

Esther is also the founder of "Finzonly," a sustainable initiative that upcycles pre-loved wetsuits into unique manta and whale shark-themed creations. This project collaborates with Sew X Dignity, a social enterprise that channels 100% of its profits into education for refugee children in Malaysia. These beautiful pieces can be found at The Submersibles retail shop, ADEX, and MIDE. (Instagram: @Finzonly)

As the Director of The Submersibles Malaysia, Esther introduced the innovative Divevolk Seatouch—a smartphone housing that works seamlessly at depths of up to 60 metres while remaining fully touchscreen-compatible. (Instagram: @Divevolk_Malaysia)

When not diving, Esther channels her energy into yoga as a certified instructor with Jalyoga Malaysia and the Malaysian Association of Yoga Instructors. She incorporates yoga into every dive trip, often grateful to liveaboards and resorts that provide yoga mats. Join her for a rejuvenating yoga session before or after your next dive!
