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.”
