Her fans said the short note now feels haunting.

One close friend posted in tears: “You’re too much. Don’t do this again in the next life.

“But I’m so glad I knew you this time. I’ll always remember clearing the fridge and drinking in the sea with you, pretty angel.

“One day we’ll raise a glass again.”

Another diving friend revealed they had only just planned technical training together.

He wrote: “I never thought you’d be in God’s arms so soon.

“Your passion for diving moved me deeply. Today I came to your memorial to walk the final path with you.

“Rest in peace.”

The influencer regularly shared her underwater adventures with her 366,000 Instagram followers.

Li, who came from New Taipei City in Taiwan, held PADI scuba coaching qualifications and often promoted ocean conservation and blue economy ideas.

Earlier this year, she completed a master’s degree in criminology.

She had already started preparing applications for further study in law and marine affairs.

She also worked as a model and appeared on TV dating and variety shows, as reported by Need To Know.

Her mother posted a moving tribute after the memorial service.

She wrote: “Yesterday my baby graduated.

“My little fish has completed her life’s graduation ceremony.”

The mother thanked relatives, close friends and fellow divers who travelled from around the island to attend.

She added: “As her mum, I thank you for the company, warmth and help you gave her while she was alive.

“I will remember it all for her and repay you one day if I can.

“May God bless everyone who cared for her.”

Tributes poured in from shocked followers and former colleagues.

The family has asked for privacy while they grieve.

No cause of death has been made public.
