Captain
Dan Yergey

Member since December 2022 Key Largo, United States
Background
Captain Dan was nicknamed by one of his students as the “underwater cowboy,” because he grew up ranching in Kansas before joining the military. After serving his country overseas, Captain Dan worked in corporate America for nearly 20 years prior to moving to Key Largo. During that time, he enjoyed traveling to dive but left the corporate world to spend more time with family. He is both the owner and captain of the Underwater Cowboy. Before going out on his own, he worked at the largest dive shop in the US as the lead captain. When he is not driving the Underwater Cowboy, he is often training captains or running large fishing boats. Captain Dan enjoys teaching both students and dive professionals and takes pride in ensuring his diving and fishing customers are safe and happy. He is an exceptional guide, fisherman, and boat captain that will show you to the best spots in the keys! He lives in Key Largo with his fiancé and their dogs.
