Overview

Meet Daniel — Your Cozumel Dive Instructor

Daniel is a passionate dive instructor from Brazil who has been working in the dive industry since 2015. After seeing a large pod of dolphins on his very first dive, he fell in love with the underwater world, left his previous job, and has been diving and teaching ever since.
