Dan Westwood

Families that play together, stay together. And this is the case with Dan and his sweet wife Dani and their kids. All are avid divers.

Dan Westwood has been diving for 10+ years and acquired a passion for the sport. He progressed rapidly through the diving certifications and became an instructor within a 8 months of becoming an Open Water diver.

Along with his wife, all his kids and their spouses are divers. They can’t wait until they can start the next generation of divers.

Family vacations are easier when you know what the activity is going to be, all you need to do is determine where it’s going to take place.

“We have seen how diving can and has brought families together and strengthend bonds by having a common high adventure activity. Certifying families has become one of the funnest parts of what we do, especially when parents and children come together. The interaction between siblings and parents is something special.”

Meet Our Staff

Jenn Nielson

Assistant Instructor

Jenn has a long love/hate relationship with water. She’s spent most of my life recreating on the water during the summer and recreating on frozen water in the winter. Voluntarily putting her face in the water has never ever been an option for her, until she tried SCUBA, and I fell in love it. Now, one of her favorite things as an instructor is watching the fear fade from students faces and the wonder ignite their senses. She has been diving for a couple of years and loves learning about different aspects and certifications to gain new skills and knowledge. She loves to share that with others, and is a committed instructor who likes to help students reach their goals and accomplish hard things.

Travis Korella

Assistant Instructor
Travis Korella was born in Calgary, Alberta Canada. He was first certified 22 years ago. He loves exploring the ocean both cold and warm water and has a passion of learning new dive skills to increase his ability as a master diver and assistant instructor. Over the past 5 years Travis’s children have adopted his love of the water and they have enjoyed many amazing dives, including Belize, Honduras, the Bahamas, Tahiti and Fiji.

Matt Kearl

Assistant Instructor
Matt is an Assistant Professor at Utah Tech University where he teaches in the Software Engineering program. As a dive pro, Matt is able to help students in the classroom and in the water understand diving principles to help anyone stay safe. Matt is always happy to share his knowledge with those around him and to help others overcome their fears. Some of his favorite dives are in Honduras and Grand Caymen.

Shelby Graves

Travel Manager/Instructor

Shelby Graves is the Travel Manager for Access Scuba. She graduated in 2020 from Utah Tech University with a BS in Biology. In the Spring of 2021 Shelby completed her SSI Open Water Scuba Certification and fell in love with scuba diving. She received her SSI Instructor certification in 2022 and spent the first six months of 2023 teaching scuba in Belize. She loves the ocean, marine life, and traveling (especially if the trip involves diving). When she’s not at work or the ocean you can find her playing with her parent’s puppy, spending time with her family, or playing games with her friends.

Ryan Davis

Assistant Instructor
Ryan has been diving just over 20 years now with his favorite dive buddy Martina (his wife) and loves to blow bubbles in exotic locations!  He is a software project manager when he isn’t getting great shots underwater.  2024 was a banner year for Ryan, he was able to travel to the Maldives and Belize and get his family certified and ready to go to Fiji in 2025!  Ryan loves learning new things and visiting new places and then sharing that knowledge with other divers.  He loves marine wildlife and really does enjoy swimming with the sharks!
