"I lost my phone in the water and was really worried that I wouldn't be able to find it. He found it so quickly and was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the whole process. He made a stressful situation feel so much easier."

"We had a 3-day stopover at Van Isle Marina in Sidney and called Danny a couple of days prior to our arrival to schedule a bottom cleaning and inspection. They did an excellent job and even give you an underwater video to prove it! Highly recommend."

"Danny and his team did a fantastic job on our sailboat. They cleaned the hull, replaced the anodes, and gave the hull and running gear a thorough inspection — bottom paint, folding prop, saildrive, rudder, keel, and thrusters all checked."

"Danny responded immediately to our request for a zinc change on our 43' ketch. Contacted him in the morning and by 1400 the job was done! He and his assistant, Spencer, did an excellent job changing out two 'donut' zincs, inspecting and cleaning the prop and hull (an unexpected service). They were very pleasant, highly professional and efficient, a pleasure to work with. Finally, the bill was very reasonable. Would definitely hire them again."

"My son accidentally dropped his phone into the water, and Danny answered the phone right away and came out incredibly quickly. He arrived fully prepared with professional diving gear and even had a dive partner with him. Within minutes of getting into the water, Danny located and recovered the phone from approximately 15–20 feet deep. If you've lost a phone, keys, jewelry, or anything else underwater, I highly recommend Danny's Diving Services. Excellent service, fair pricing, and an all-around great experience."
