Danny has been working as a scuba instructor and as teacher for over 10 years and has had the opportunity to see fear changed to courage, faintheartedness converted into accomplishment, timidity transformed into confidence, Anticipation turned into passion. 

As a scuba instructor his love and passion for the ocean has opened peoples hearts and minds to the hidden beauty of nature’s creation and our obligation to protect it, and he has been able to foster self-esteem in another people, teach the value of character and integrity, transform another human being and change a life for the better and forever.
