Spencer Daniel on the Georgia Aquarium dive team

Hey, I’m Spencer Daniel. I’ve been diving at the Georgia Aquarium for over four years now, working on the Dive Immersion program, which means I get to dive with the whale shark. Not a bad place to spend a workday!

I became a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor in 2021 and have taught +100 students since. Along the way I worked as a dive intern at Rainbow Reef and as a SCUBA instructor with Florida Sea Base down in the Keys.

In 2023 I became a full cave diver, so some of my diving happens in places where you can’t just swim up to the surface. On dry land, my background is in Industrial Engineering!
