Dan Hutton

Independent Open Water Instructor
Divemaster

Dan first discovered scuba diving as a young teen living in Key West, Florida, and instantly saw the value it brings to connecting with others. After taking a break from the sport, he was inspired to return when his dad certified his children—sparking his own renewed passion for diving. Wanting to build his skills and be prepared to support others in the water, Dan continued his training and eventually became a Divemaster. He now enjoys helping others have safe, memorable dive experiences and believes diving is one of the best ways to bond with family and friends.
