Owner & lead diver
Daniel Garcia. Commercial diver. Owner-operator.
I was born in Peru and grew up in BC. My passion for diving took me across the world to Spain, where I trained as a commercial diver.
The training covered the full commercial spectrum — heavy industrial work included. Along the way I worked with rays and sharks in some of Europe's largest aquariums. Most of this job isn't glamorous, though — just honest, careful underwater work.
Now I'm back home running my own outfit. Hull cleaning, zincs, underwater inspections, mooring work, recovery, commercial projects.
I'm in the water on most jobs personally. When scope, safety, or scheduling calls for it, I work with trusted divers and crew I know well. Either way, you get the work done, the video, and a clear invoice for what the job actually took.
The people I bring are picked for work ethic, judgment, and how they treat your boat when nobody's watching. That's the standard Danny's Diving is built on, and I don't bend on it.

Reputation
53 five-star reviews. The work speaks for itself.
We don't run an ad budget. The business runs on referrals from boat owners, yacht clubs, brokers, and marine pros across the south coast. The reason it works is simple: we show up on time, do the work carefully, document it on video, and charge fairly.
If something's not right, we make it right. If we find something we didn't expect, we tell you before we change scope. If the conditions aren't safe, we postpone — no charge. That's the deal.
