Welcome lovers of the sea… Danny began to learn about the earthly paradise, which is what he's called the sea, since he was a small child. At the age of 10, Danny started surfing and began learning how to snorkel…He took his Open Water course at the age of 13, and since that day his love for the sea has grown greater day by day. It fascinates him to be able to breath and hear himself breathing in the depths of the ocean, as he observes His greatness… God and His awesome creation!!! He's been working at AkuaSport as an Open Water Instructor and as a Swimming Instructor. For Danny, it’s been an experience that compares to no other; being able to use his God-given gift of teaching, to share his experiences with others who want to learn… He's known this Beautiful Paradise for 15 years, and has had the opportunity to share his experiences with everybody who comes to our store….
